As the focus on environmental responsibility grows in both personal and professional lives, employees increasingly want to align themselves with organisations that share their values. The shift towards sustainability in the workplace is no longer just a trend — it’s become an expectation, and with the rise of hybrid work models, businesses are recognising that sustainability is now a driving force in attracting and retaining talent.

The 2024 Studio DB — Office Occupier Survey reveals that employees are placing a higher value on sustainability in their workplaces than ever before, rating environmental responsibility 7.8 out of 10 in terms of importance. There is also a growing demand for offices that not only operate sustainably, but also showcase these efforts in their design — highlighting the importance of energy-efficient infrastructure, conscious material choices, and features like rainwater collection systems, green spaces, and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. These initiatives all contribute to a reduced carbon footprint while enhancing employee wellbeing.

For businesses dedicated to sustainability, these changes are essential. Employees want to work in spaces that reflect their environmental values, and organisations are meeting this need by incorporating sustainable design elements into the very fabric of their office environments.
