We're optimists. We believe there has to be a better way of doing things.
Better for businesses and organizations, better for people and the planet.

We like it when everybody wins.

In part, our optimism comes from our background. We're designers. We address sustainability from the design strategy perspective. Design is about great questions and better answers. It's about iteration and prototyping. It's about working within constraints, and imagining beyond them. Design is an optimistic act.

But we're also optimistic because of the brilliance, passion and energy of those we're working with. We're inspired by the drive of our clients, and our colleagues: great thinkers, dedicated practitioners, and world changers who also working to develop sustainable futures. Check out our blog posts, links, and twitter feeds on the site to learn about some of the great work being done.

Fische is a design strategy consultancy based in New Zealand and working around the world. We work with large and small companies, public organizations, central and regional government agencies and NGOs.

#SB10 - Biolite wins Sustainable Innovation award

We're stoked that Biolite won SB10's Sustainable Innovation award, announced on the last day of the conference. Jonathan Cedar, co-inventor and the nascent company's CEO delivered a great presentation that made clear the significant impact that could be achieved if Biolite (and stoves like it) replace traditional wood-fired stoves in the developing world. The Biolite stove reinvents stoves used for home cooking in Asia, Africa and Latin America by making the burning process more efficient. The greater efficiency the less fuel is used and less smoke is generated. Less smoke, the less harm to the health of the cooks. Biolite has an additional feature; they've developed a process that converts a small part of the thermal energy into electricity. This means that users can recharge electrical devices while cooking, and that's got to be good for developing world users facing regular megacity brown outs, or for those who are off the grid completely.
