The primary activity of SADI is to disseminate information on De-materialisation. SADI will offer you an insight into the concept of De-materialisation, how it can be implemented at various levels of operation to different stake-holders of the society. SADI conducts workshops, seminars, panel discussions, conferences, talks, and other modes of communication to disseminate information on  De-materialisation.

SADI aims to
 

	raise citizens' awareness on the positive and negative impacts their individual consumption behaviour may have, but also on collective responsibilities as consumers;
	create consensus on common objectives and targets for the quality of the environment and the quality of life in the society;
	debate on the potential of various options to achieve an efficient, balanced and sustainable society through De-materialisation;
	provide a forum for rethinking on lifestyle patterns – adoption of a lifestyle that is more resource-conscious;
	show the impacts of individual behaviours on the global environment;
	discuss the potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and other related technologies that are effective tools for De-materialisation.

SADI also proposes to promote a wide range of goods and services based on the concept of De-materialisation which will in turn help in creating a De-materialised society.

Activities

Workshops at SADI
The workshops are aimed at developing the much-needed interest in the need for De-materialisation and also showcase the scope of De-materialisation to emerge as the key foundation that future business and lifestyles will be built upon.

SADI offers a series of workshops for corporate houses. These workshops will highlight the need for De-materialisation in various industrial and corporate activities, explore how the concept will impact their industry, and analyze how companies could well use it to their advantage.

Research
The SADI team engages in continual and in-depth research on the topic of De-materialisation. We are also involved in understanding global perspectives on De-materialisation by studying first hand, the economic and growth models of various countries across the world. Specifically, examples of the adoption of De-materialised choices in other parts of the world (like shared cars in Europe) are being carefully analysed and a model is being arrived at for implementation of the same in the Indian socio-economic context.

Conferences and Panel Discussions
SADI invites eminent thinkers, thought leaders, and domain experts from all walks of life to participate in Conferences and Discussions and explore how we can implement De-materialisation to enhance our individual and collective lives. 

Mass Contact Programs
SADI encourages all sections of the society to take that small but significant step towards De-materialisation by conducting Mass Contact Programs. These innovatively structured activities are aimed at bringing about mass participation resulting in mass impact and mass recall.

Newsletter
A monthly newsletter bringing you up to date with news developments in the area of De-materialisation and other related areas will be published every month. It will also act as a voice to all those who believe in a De-materialised way of life, as well as for those new to the concept. It will also carry contributory articles by prominent thought leaders in the field and significant research findings in India and abroad.
