The O2 Global Network is an international network established to inform, inspire and connect people interested in sustainable design.
Network members are involved in industrial design, architecture, styling, graphic design, fashion, innovation and the arts. Included as well are people from academies, universities, public authorities, private companies, NGOs and knowledge centers.
The O2 Global Network comprises the O2 Global Network foundation, regional O2 Hubs,local O2 Groups, O2 Liaisons and numerous individuals (called O2’s). O2 was established in 1988 and there are currently more than 85 country contacts worldwide. Members of the network, on an individual, local and regional level, organize lectures, projects, workshops and distribute newsletters and other informational material to promote, teach and implement design for sustainability with all of its facets in mind.
The O2 Hubs are regional coordinators in areas where there are 2 or more local O2 Groups or Liaisons. The following regions/ countries have O2 Hubs: Europe (Southeast), India, Nordic, Switzerland, UK and USA.
The O2 Groups are local organizations and can be found in Croatia, Finland, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, USA Bay Area, USA Chicago, USA Indiana, USA Michigan, USA New York City and USA Pennsylvania and USA Upper Midwest.
The O2 Liaisons are local individual contacts who represent their regions in the global network. There are currently over 85 O2 Liaisons on 6 continents representing 54 countries (and still counting).
The O2 Global Network foundation was established in 1994 as an independent organization with the aim of keeping everyone in O2 linked and communicating with one another. This is achieved primarily through the use of electronic media: a website and an electronic mailing list.
The O2 website
is an English language website intended as both a starting point for people initially investigating sustainable design and a source of information and inspiration for active O2’s, keeping them connected and informed of the goals and activities of other network members.
Many of the O2 Hubs and Groups also maintain their own websites dedicated to regional and
local interests and activities with information often written in the local language.
The O2 mailing list
written in English, is the central discussion, announcement and exchange e-mail list for O2 Global Network. There are currently over 1650 members worldwide.
