Achieving B-Corp Certification Through Sustainable Workplace Design

Achieving B-Corp certification requires a rigorous assessment of a business’s social and environmental practices, including governance, community, workers, and the environment. Office furniture, fit-out, and design—though only one element of a business’s operations—serve as a tangible reflection of its commitment to sustainability and community values.

At RE:inventar, we provide direct solutions to the challenges businesses face during the certification process. With our expertise and services, achieving sustainable workplace design is now easier than ever.

Key Principles for Achieving B-Corp Certification

1. Sustainable Materials
2. Energy Efficiency Planning
3. Waste Management

Each principle plays a critical role in helping businesses meet B-Corp standards.

Sustainable Materials: Reducing Waste and Emissions

A key focus of B-Corp certification is sustainability. With industries like furniture, textiles, and construction being significant contributors to landfill waste, selecting sustainable materials for office fit-outs is essential.

• Second-Life Items
  Opting for refurbished furniture and appliances reduces CO2 emissions and conserves raw materials. At RE:inventar, we source and refurbish high-quality second-life items, including:
  • Reused carpets, chairs, desks, and lockers.
  • Restored products from high-end brands that match factory-new functionality and aesthetics.
• Benefits for Clients
  • High-quality products at a fraction of the cost.
  • Reduced environmental impact.
  • A seamless, hassle-free process.

Energy Efficiency Planning: Lowering Carbon Footprints

Creating an energy-efficient office is vital for lowering your company’s carbon footprint. A refurbishment offers an opportunity to:

• Upgrade to energy-saving fixtures such as LED lighting, energy-efficient heating, and cooling systems.
• How RE:inventar Helps
