The conversation around sustainability is evolving, and today on #WorldOceanDay, we’d like to highlight our Ocean Chair collection which pushes the boundaries beyond resource reduction in the name of our oceans. Discarded fishing nets, the worst kind of ocean plastic, are transformed into the foundation for ergonomic excellence, showcasing a commitment to a circular economy and a healthier planet. These chairs are also certified Climate Positive, meaning their production generates a positive impact on climate, water, and energy. Learn more about how Humanscale is redefining sustainable design.
To celebrate Sustainability Day, we wanted to show how committed we are in our efforts to bring about positive change.
Our Restore and Repair More initiative is one way we can ensure that we are as sustainable as possible.
As part of our efforts to reduce the environmental impact of building work, our surveyors design repair schedules with the minimum environmental impact possible.
Using verified sustainable materials, natural drying methods and minimal strip outs, these are just some of the ways we ensure sustainability in our approach.
Our sights are set on achieving Net Zero by 2035, and every step we take is a stride towards realising this ambitious goal.
Make sure to follow us to find out more about our sustainability initiatives and our journey to net zero 🌍

The Evolution of the Circular Economy
Step into a journey through time where innovative ideas paved the way for a more sustainable future. From the 1960s to the late 90s, visionaries coined various terms—like "spaceship economy" and "industrial ecology"—each a stepping stone towards what we now know as the circular economy.
Imagine a world where resources are used efficiently, mimicking the closed-loop systems of spaceships, and products are designed for longevity and shared use. This concept gained momentum, fueled by environmental consciousness and a quest for sustainable solutions.
Enter Walter R. Stahel, a pioneer championing this transformative approach. As the term "circular economy" began to grace academic papers and reports in the early 2000s, it signalled a turning point—a collective recognition of the need for change. But this evolution was no overnight sensation; it was a natural progression, born from decades of evolving ideas and a deep-rooted desire for a better, more sustainable world.
Join #MottainaiRecycling in the movement towards a circular economy—a journey that began long ago and continues to unfold, driven by our commitment to environmental stewardship and a future where resources are cherished, not wasted.

More than just a spectacular ecosystem in its own right, the ocean is an enabler of life on Earth. #WorldWildlifeDay
But it is under intense and increasing pressure. Our extractive, wasteful, and polluting economy is weakening the ocean’s ability to fulfil critical ecosystem functions.
Conservation and restoration efforts alone – crucial though they are – are not enough.
Here, Emma Elobeid and Tansy Robertson-Fall show how a circular economy can offer a framework for such a transformation: https://lnkd.in/eGS2d4Gs

Embracing a Greener Tomorrow: The Path to Sustainable Innovations
As we venture deeper into a new era, the call for sustainable solutions grows louder, resonating across industries and communities worldwide. This collective awakening towards environmental stewardship marks a pivotal shift in how we conceive, design, and interact with the world around us. The pursuit of eco-friendly innovations is not just a trend; it's a necessity, shaping the blueprint for future generations.
In the quest for sustainability, I've witnessed:
➤ An increasing demand for products and solutions that offer "more wiggle room" in terms of environmental impact, demonstrating a shift towards materials and processes that are not only efficient but also regenerative.
➤ The concept of "open concept living" extending beyond architectural design to encapsulate a broader philosophy of transparency, collaboration, and shared responsibility in environmental conservation efforts.
To foster a culture of innovation and sustainability:
➤ Prioritize the development and adoption of adaptive technologies that not only respond to environmental changes—like "knowing where the snow falls"—but also anticipate and mitigate their impact, ensuring resilience and efficiency.
➤ Embrace and promote circular economy principles, encouraging the design of products and systems that are regenerative by nature, reducing waste and facilitating the reuse and recycling of resources.
In harnessing the power of sustainable innovations...
We chart a course towards a more resilient, equitable, and thriving planet. The journey ahead demands creativity, courage, and collaboration, as we redefine the boundaries of what's possible. Let's commit to being architects of change, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation.
