How can we make our offices sustainable?

Making your office sustainable goes beyond including recycling bins in your office design, making the necessary design adjustments to consider the environmental impact of the workplace – in both the short and long-term.

Below, we will cover three methods you can use to ensure that your office space becomes more sustainable.

•      Selecting the most sustainable suppliers for green office design and fit-out

If you are looking for a sustainable office design and fit-out, then choosing suppliers who are environmentally conscious, is a great first step in the right direction for a long-term sustainable office space.

Some of the suppliers we use include:

Interface, who have developed 100% carbon-neutral flooring products.

Autex acoustics, who have also developed 100% carbon-neutral acoustic products.

Camira fabrics, who make eco-friendly fabrics, with many containing 100% recycled polyester.

Gresham, who’s furniture is 100% recyclable and is made of 83% recycled materials

The majority of today’s office furniture and other products now carry certifications and the associated carbon footprint is assessed..

•      Selecting the right office fit-out company

If you’re looking to hire an office design and fit out, or a refurbishment company to offer you a turnkey solution for your current office space, then by choosing one that makes sure that their designs are sustainable helps make your office sustainable.

In addition, by adding biophilia, not only does it look good, but helps improve air quality and aids in removing carbon dioxide in the working environment.
