Creating a Sustainable Workspace with thoughtful choices.
At Unity Working, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond waste reduction—it embodies a culture of sustainability that resonates with our values. Through thoughtful partnerships and innovative practices, we establish an environment where members and the planet can thrive.
Quality products and reuse methodology
Our collaboration with the Office Coffee Co. introduces sleek bean-to-cup machines that offer Fairtrade Puro Coffee, which our members rave about, significantly reducing the need for takeaway cups and promoting eco-friendly habits. For every kilo of Puro coffee purchased, 19m² of rainforest is safeguarded. Across 15 Puro reserves in 8 countries, they have protected over 320 km² of rainforest. See more about our partnership from our latest tasting morning.
Opting for reusable products is essential in our pursuit of sustainability. We urge our members to replace disposables with durable alternatives such as glassware and ceramic mugs. Our Brita Vivreau taps provide an endless supply of filtered water, making sustainability effortless.
Innovative Soundproof Phone Booths.
Our popular soundproof Meavo phone booths redefine privacy while championing sustainability. Each booth incorporates over 800 recycled plastic bottles, illustrating our commitment to eco-friendly innovation. Beyond reducing waste, Meavo contributes to global causes by donating two solar lamps to Zambian families and planting 25 trees in Madagascar for every booth sold. This partnership enriches our workspaces and positively impacts communities across the globe.
Beautiful Sustainable Furnishings and upcycling
Rawside supports us in furnishing our offices sustainably. Known for beautifully designed furniture, waste reduction and local craftsmanship in South London, they are great believers in the 4Rs: “reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover” and have them as a guiding principle to ensure their products have as little impact on the environment as possible.
A great example of this is our coat hooks. Made from the offcuts of the very desks our Unity clients work at. Rawside's furniture blends style with functionality, reinforcing environmental values and local craftsmanship.
When opening new locations, we upcycle inherited furniture. For instance, at our Shoreditch location, two overlooked long tables and benches were transformed into standout pieces loved by our members.
Recycling and waste reduction
First Mile Recycling is key to our waste reduction strategy. This partnership enables us to manage recycling effectively and with environmental kindness. First Mile transforms waste into resources by collecting paper, plastics, and even coffee grounds to generate energy. They have partnered with Bio-Bean, who divert waste coffee grounds from landfills and upcycle them into sustainable products such as coffee logs, flavour extract, and valuable raw materials that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
With Method Recycling bins in the kitchens, participation is made easy. What attracted us most to this brand was the design, featuring the word “landfill” prominently at the opening—a powerful message and reminder about the waste we send to landfill, encouraging Unity members to reduce their waste contribution.
Uplifting Greenery, Light-filled Spaces and Smart Climate Control
Interior plants not only beautify our spaces but also offer key benefits. They enhance air quality, increase productivity, and aid relaxation while reducing noise and dust. Partnering with Plants 4 Business, we create welcoming atmospheres and make large spaces easy to navigate. We transform our environments into vibrant, sustainable hubs where productivity thrives.
Across our locations, we optimise natural light through expansive windows and thoughtful workspace layouts, reducing the reliance on artificial lighting. This approach not only conserves energy but also creates an inviting atmosphere and enhances well-being.
Energy-saving LED lighting is integrated into several of our offices. These LEDs consume less power and boast a longer lifespan, decreasing maintenance and waste.
Our smart climate control systems adjust based on immediate requirements, maintaining comfort without unnecessary energy use. High-quality insulation in our offices efficiently manages heat and cool air, reducing energy demand.
