We all agree that the office as we knew it pre-covid is at least changing, if not dead. Weather you are downsizing because most staff is remote, or you are required to be in the office 4+ days a week, the environment we work in is changing. Not only are workers demanding felx space, we are demanding sustainable space! Yes in a recent survey 34% of workers require a sustainable office.
What does that mean? Not only do they want a green certified building, they want internal operations to be green certified. The latter requires operational changes, procedural changes, procurement changes, shipping changes. It requires a full assessment of your operations, reducing paper by turning it electronic (imagind the space you could free up if you didn’t have file cabinets!) What are your purchasing procedures? Do you have multiple shipments from the same vendor daily or weekly that could be larger shipments with less frequency? Can you find more local vendors to reduce shipment length and thus carbon emissions? And the list goes on. Shipping is similar.
