We are delighted to announce that two projects from Fudy Group’s 2023 “Pack Up Home | Innovative Design Adoption Tools” competition – “A Disaster Preparedness Toolbox For Pet” and “An Innovative Pet Adoption Toolbox” – have both won the Japan GOOD DESIGN 2024 Award! 🏆
The GOOD DESIGN AWARD is a globally recognized evaluation system for superior design. The 2024 edition opened for applications on April 1 and received 5,773 entries. After two rounds of rigorous and fair screening by a judging committee comprised of design experts from Japan and abroad, 1,579 entries were awarded this honor. For Fudy Group’s two works to stand out in such fierce competition is truly remarkable.
It’s worth noting that the “Pack Up Home | Innovative Design Adoption Tools” competition stems from Fudy Group’s innovative approach to implementing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles. Through this competition, we not only demonstrated our commitment to social responsibility but also provided innovative design solutions to address practical issues. This approach of combining charity, innovation, and design is at the core of Fudy Group’s ESG strategy.
The judges highly praised this innovative design:
“This is a design that has carefully considered the various complex situations that come with pets during natural disasters. With provision and information scarce on what to provide pets for such situations, this multi-sector design collaboration has created an easy-to-use portable kit which is affordable and durable. Also, the added function of becoming a stool is a lovely touch as many evacuation facilities are scarce of chairs. At a time where the number of pets is exceeding children and families are becoming smaller, pets are a crucial part of the human family, and so it is crucial to know that you have all you need to protect your pet when you are at your most vulnerable.”
This innovative design also received high praise from the judges:
“Anyone who has adopted a pet will know the time and effort it takes for the new pet to adapt to its new living environment. The adoption organization provides each animal with a cage when they go for adoption. However, the cages are not necessarily safe for the animal when transported. Also, once the animal adapts to its new home, the cage becomes unnecessary and is often not returned to the organization, which becomes waste. This easy-to-construct low-cost solution reduces stress and costs for the organization, providing a more viable financial solution, which is also environmentally friendly whilst retaining the animal’s safety. The fact that this is a project which is initiated by a city office is very promising as well. Let’s hope many other cities take notes and make this a standard for many cities, organizations and countries in the future.”
This international recognition not only showcases Fudy Group’s outstanding achievements in the design field but also reflects our emphasis on social responsibility and innovative spirit. We firmly believe that excellent design can not only change lives but also bring positive impacts to society.
This double award is undoubtedly a great affirmation of our work and motivates us to continue improving in design and public welfare. Fudy Group is committed to continuous innovation and creating more value for society.
Our designs focus not only on human needs but also extend to our pet companions. From daily life to emergency situations, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions. This all-encompassing consideration is a concrete manifestation of our ESG strategy.
We look forward to providing innovative solutions for more cities, organizations, and countries in the future, whether in pet care, disaster response, or animal welfare, to jointly build a safer and friendlier society. Fudy Group will continue to practice our ESG commitments through innovative design and social responsibility projects, contributing to building a better world.
Power for the Possible! We are Fudy, your product packaging consultant.
