SUSTAINABILITY
Responsibility in every decision
Sustainability isn’t an afterthought. It’s a key consideration when selecting suppliers, specifying products and guiding our clients toward workplace solutions that respect both people and planet.
OUR COMMITMENT
ESG principles guide everything we do
The decisions we make as a furniture consultancy have an impact on the global environment, not just on our clients and their employees. At Synco Workplace Consultancy Ltd we take this responsibility very seriously.
By partnering with approved manufacturers who prioritize low impact manufacturing processes, the use of recycled materials and energy efficient solutions, we help our clients make the right, sustainable choices.
THE THREE PILLARS
Environmental, Social, Governance
Environmental
Reducing carbon and waste
Furniture production and disposal create a big environmental impact, from extraction of raw materials to manufacturing, transport, and end-of-life waste.
Source responsibly
Ensuring materials come from sustainable forests, recycled sources, or low-carbon production methods.
Reduce embodied carbon
Working with manufacturers who use energy-efficient production processes and sustainable logistics.
Extend product lifecycles
Prioritising durable, repairable, and recyclable furniture over short-term solutions.
Minimise landfill waste
Encouraging circular economy models, including take-back schemes, refurbishment, and second-life furniture.
Social
Ethical production and worker wellbeing
Beyond sustainability, ESG in furniture also focuses on the people behind the products. Ethical sourcing ensures:
Fair wages & safe working conditions
Avoiding suppliers linked to exploitative labour practices.
Health-conscious designs
Recommending ergonomic, well-designed furniture that enhances workplace wellbeing.
Inclusive & accessible solutions
Ensuring all furniture supports diverse needs, including neurodiverse and disabled users.
