Workplace wellness & sustainability is essential in today’s commercial environment. Check out 3 easy ways to get started:
Invest in Sustainable Furniture
Choosing sustainable office furniture minimises your environmental impact. Cheap, fast furniture (like, fast fashion) has a short lifespan and harmful materials, leading to high carbon emissions and waste. Before purchasing, request for certificates such as, Greendguard Gold, BIFMA test reports, or other low VOC certifications. You should also learn on its material & resource use through environmental product declaration, which is growing in demand.
Reuse and Repurpose Office Assets
Sustainability extends beyond new purchases; it involves reusing and repurposing existing assets and keeping them out of landfill. Sustainable Office Solutions facilitates the responsible reuse of unwanted office assets (including glass partitions) via donations to those in need, repurposing or recycling, all while providing clients with an ISO aligned Carbon Impact Report that helps communicate ESG actions. By embracing circular practices, you reduce the demand for new materials, keep waste from landfill and extend a product’s lifecycle.
Implement Smart Solutions
Integrating smart furniture powered by wellness sensors & technology offers enhanced productivity, sustainability, and employee well-being. Brands like 9am provide adjustable desks and posture-sensing chairs for ergonomics and comfort, along with comprehensive spatial analysis services that unlock benefits such as energy efficiency, space optimisation, employee well-being, and enhanced productivity, creating a dynamic and future-ready workspace.
By implementing these strategies, you can create a sustainable workspace that benefits both the environment and your employees.
