How to design an eco-responsible office?
Eco-responsible office design has become a priority for many companies. This allows them to demonstrate their commitment to preserving the environment, while meeting the growing expectations of consumers and talent who value environmentally committed companies.
If you're ready to equip your office with sustainable furniture to make it an eco-friendly haven, here are a few leads to best practices and suppliers.
1. Using recycled or reclaimed materials for office furnishings
Their use reduces demand for new raw materials and minimizes the amount of waste produced.
The use of recycled or reclaimed materials
When it comes to furnishing your workspaces, opt for desks, shelving and panels made from recycled wood, recycled plastic or reclaimed fiberboard. These materials offer quality and design equivalent to that of new materials, while reducing the environmental footprint.
2. Choosing a local supplier
By favouring local suppliers, you reduce transport distances, and therefore the carbon footprint associated with delivery. By supporting them, you're also helping to strengthen your region's economy and create jobs.
3. Choosing a committed supplier
Committed suppliers are distinguished by their use of sustainable, recycled or environmentally-friendly materials. They also adopt eco-responsible manufacturing practices and reduce their carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources. They are also often invested in social and ethical initiatives, such as corporate social responsibility programs and actions in favor of the local community.
