In the office, sustainability can be implemented in various ways: designing your spaces more consciously, engaging in environmentally friendly projects for your surroundings, or even transforming your way of working. Are you looking for inspiration to make your office environment more sustainable? This is how we approach it.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-ab4f9208 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--32-24);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--16);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--32-24);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--16)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4bbf747a wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainability in the office with office furniture, carpets, and coffee beans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sustainability in the office begins with the interior design<\/strong>. Sustainable, modular office furniture is therefore a no-brainer.  When choosing your storage system or even your tables and chairs, it is lean to go green: consider a tabletop made from recyclable material or ergonomic office chairs to provide your back and neck with optimal comfort during work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to <strong>combine sustainability and coziness<\/strong>? Then consider an environmentally friendly carpet to ensure better air quality. You can also place plants in your office to introduce a touch of green and give your sense of happiness a boost.   The same applies to your lighting: choose energy-efficient lamps and adjust the light intensity and color temperature to your preference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can extend your sustainable ambitions throughout the rest of your office building with numerous <strong>other small efforts<\/strong>. For example, limit the number of printers per floor to reduce paper consumption or decrease your plastic waste with a water fountain in the lobby.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-black\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/realisaties\">Discover our sustainable projects<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-ab4f9208 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--32-24);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--16);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--32-24);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--16)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4bbf747a wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Also sustainable out-of-the-office <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, as a company, you can commit to <strong>sustainability outside your office<\/strong>. There are countless organizations in the Netherlands dedicated to restoring our natural wealth. Find an organization that shares your goals and ambitions and participate in a sustainable support project.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-ab4f9208 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--32-24);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--16);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--32-24);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--16)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4bbf747a wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A sustainable way of working <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the icing on the cake, sustainability can also inspire <strong>a different way of working.<\/strong> To ensure that your organization performs optimally, <strong>a healthy policy<\/strong> in every branch of your business \u2013 from HR to finance \u2013 is a real must. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your employees are the true sustainable heart of your organization<\/strong>. Attention to mental well-being and a strong team spirit are at least as essential for sustainable success.  That is why, for example, we organize monthly outdoor walks and encourage our employees to come to work by electric bike: no traffic jams and better fitness \u2013 a win-win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, there are <strong>endless possibilities<\/strong> to make your office environment more sustainable. With sustainable design, engagement in small and large initiatives, and attention to the people within your organization, you go a long way. The key to sustainable success is therefore within reach.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14069,"parent":0,"template":"","inzichten-category":[379],"class_list":["post-14065","inzichten","type-inzichten","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","inzichten-category-sustainability"],"acf":[],"mb":[],"mfb_rest_fields":["title"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inzichten\/14065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inzichten"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/inzichten"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"inzichten-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inzichten-category?post=14065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
