Sustainability: as a company, you can no longer ignore it. As office designers, we naturally want to set a good example ourselves.
What is Wout Monseurs doing about sustainability? Like everyone else, we are committed to this issue. Sustainability is a high priority in our own office building and showroom, as well as in our services. Read all about it in this blog.
Making businesses more sustainable – Wout Monseurs & sustainability
"Improve the world, start with yourself." As project designers, we take this well-known saying to heart. What does Wout Monseurs itself do in terms of sustainability?
- Our team drives electric or hybrid cars and we have our own charging station that customers and suppliers can also use.
- Our entire building is lit with energy-efficient LED lighting.
- We will soon be installing solar panels on our building, which will make our energy supply even more sustainable.
- Our packing slips are printed on 100% recycled paper. This allows us to make an impact in the area of sustainability in an accessible way.
- Of course, we separate all our waste and packaging materials. These are disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
We also make sustainable choices in our services. When creating your new office, we work with suppliers who value sustainability. We make your office sustainable.
Sustainable office furniture
We use office furniture from suppliers such as WINI, Bralco, Interstuhl, Voortman, and Kastel, who work with recycled materials. And we don't just focus on sustainable furniture, but on the overall office design. For example, we also offer sustainable flooring made using a closed-loop system and 100% recycled acoustic panels.
Sustainable printing
Our printer suppliers also contribute. For example, 80% of HP printers have EPEAT certification and 90% meet the ENERGY STAR efficiency requirements. In addition, Canon has a recycling program for toners: empty cartridges from your organization are returned to Canon via Wout Monseurs, so that materials are reused responsibly.
Sustainable office supplies
We also pay attention to the details, because even everyday office supplies (such as Post-it notes) can be used responsibly. Our supplier Quantore offers PEFC- and FSC-certified office supplies, the quality mark for responsible forest management.
With these initiatives, we support your organization in creating a more sustainable workplace—step by step, we are working together to build a
greener future.
