Research, innovation and ethics: in the future, the real individuality of a product will have to rely precisely on these parameters. For eleven years, the same guide-lines have been shaping the choices of Grandesign Etico International Award, an annual event by Associazione Culturale Plana.\u2028
The prize’s main goal is that of devoting a special award to those companies and products operating according to qualitative, innovative and technological parameters, without neglecting some essential values.\u2028
Social commitment, donations, proper working conditions, suited manufacturing criteria, a good choice of raw materials, environmental awareness, a clear information about the product and an ethical communication are just some of the aspects taken into account by the Grandesign Board, selecting every year the “Top 100” National and International companies through a careful research effort.\u2028
The prize Will be awarded in Milan on November 25, 2010.
