Code of Ethics

Spatial Research + Design follows a core code of ethics: 

  • Put people and planet before profit and technology
  • Create positive improvements for all
  • Ensure products and services are trustworthy
  • Embrace commitments to the future

These ethics aligns with our mission: to bring best practices in human-centred design to support innovation and ethical product and service design in large organizations.

They also follow the underpinning moral principles of our Human Impact Framework: Accountability, Integrity, Social Justice, and Do No Harm

At Spatial we strive to hold ourselves to this code of ethics and endeavour to work with those who share the same values.

People and planet before profit and technology

In our work of researching and designing products and services, the bottom line cannot be profit and technology. We follow human-centric strategies because we understand that what we do impacts people.

Create positive improvements for all

We believe that everyone deserves to have good interactions. Our practices incorporate systems perspectives to address the broad and interrelated diversity of human experiences.

Ensure products and services are trustworthy

While technology and data can be powerful resources, both should be handled with care, and neither should be used to unjustly manipulate people, processes, or organizations.

Embrace commitments to the future

As a company that strategizes products and services, we take a holistic approach that accounts for the effects of our innovations. Responsibility for our work and our future generations is an important consideration for us.
