Orange Design System

Eight responsible design principles serving as benchmarks for responsible innovation across Orange's design and delivery process, from project inception through retrospectives.

  1. Interdependency

    The principles are interdependent and related to each other, with the realization of one principle often depending on the successful realization of others, constructing an overall ethical vision.

  2. Health

    Protect physical, mental, and social health by conducting risk assessments, ergonomic design, preventing addiction and abuse, and respecting people’s time and attention as finite resources.

  3. Service

    Serve users by understanding their expectations and obstacles, creating products that respond to proven needs rather than pushing technology or following market trends.

  4. Trust

    Earn trust through consent by never using dark patterns or manipulation tricks, valuing users as ends in themselves, and helping them identify manipulation elsewhere.

  5. Stakeholders

    Consider all stakeholders including users, suppliers, partners, shareholders, society, and future generations, evaluating impacts on direct and indirect stakeholders.

  6. Planet

    Regenerate the planet’s living systems by examining lifecycle ecological impact, prioritising regeneration over sustainability, and creating recyclable, repairable, and improvable products.

  7. Agency

    Provide keys to free and informed use by balancing usability and control, ensuring technology serves humans, and making products explainable in approachable ways.

  8. Inclusivity

    Design for all by finding the right balance between simplicity and user control, ensuring technology serves humans and not the inverse, with fair data exchanges.

  9. Value

    Create value for the company, humans and life by integrating economic, social, and environmental value, generating co-benefits and accounting for ecosystem services.
