10 tips for a sustainable working environment

1. WATER

Fill your own bottle and try not to use disposable plastic cups.

2. PLANTS

Surround yourself with plants and flowers to provide oxygen in your working environment and improve your mood and the environment around you.

3. WASTE MANAGEMENT

Sort waste not only in the work environment but also in everyday life. Use recycled paper instead of plastic cups. Be green.

4. ENERGY CONSUMPTION

If your office doesn’t have motion detectors, turn lights on only when needed and turn them off when not needed to reduce energy consumption. The same applies to electronic devices that should be switched off when you leave work.

5. PAPER

Avoid unnecessary printing and use recycled paper whenever you can. For example, you can use the other side of a poorly printed paper.

6. FOOD

During your lunch break, you should go out to eat outside your office to relax and spend time with your colleagues. A healthy diet is the best choice.

7. AIR QUALITY

Ensure regular maintenance of ventilation and air handling systems to achieve optimum air quality in the office. Encourage the use of natural ventilation and integrate plants that have the ability to absorb pollutants and contribute to improving the overall air in the workspace.

8. FURNITURE INNOVATIONS

For a more sustainable office environment, consider investing in furniture made from sustainable materials with a low environmental impact. Additionally, think about the modularity of furniture, which allows for easy refurbishment and recycling as it helps to minimise the negative impact on the planet.

9. SAVE WATER

Install energy-saving dishwashing and hand washing facilities in kitchen areas. Motivate employees to use water responsibly when using kitchen facilities and toilets.

10. LIGHTING OPTIMIZATION

Use natural light whenever possible and choose energy-efficient lighting equipment.
