AMN Healthcare, the leader in total talent solutions for healthcare organizations nationwide, partnered with Green Standards on the sustainable decommission of corporate offices across 13 cities in nine states.
In transitioning to a workplace with fewer in-office team members, AMN worked with Green Standards to take a zero-waste approach to office decommissioning. With updates to offices across the country, AMN was looking for a solution that could sell, repurpose, donate, and recycle office materials at scale. Together, we’re keeping workplace furniture out of landfills while generating positive local community impact.

Results
In 2023, AMN Healthcare worked with Green Standards to divert 95.8% —or 343 tons—of its office decommissioning waste from landfills, equivalent to 1,207 tons of avoided emissions. In doing so, AMN Healthcare made in-kind donations worth over $150,000 to support 26 community organizations.
Among the organizations that benefited from the program:
- The Cindy Ramsey Center in Fort Worth, Texas, is a food distribution center that helps neighbors in need. The furniture donated by AMN Healthcare was used to furnish part of the organization’s new resource center.
- The Western States Cancer Research (WSCR-NCORP) makes cancer clinical trials and research studies available to physicians and patients in their own. communities. Green Standards donated AMN Healthcare’s standing desks and computer monitor arms, enabling a more flexible work environment than would have otherwise been possible.
In the past three years, our partnership with AMN Healthcare has prevented 951.7 tons of waste from ending up in a landfill — equivalent to 3,352 tons of avoided emissions, or equal to offsetting electricity use from 463 homes for one year.
Nationwide Impact
Since 2022, Green Standards’ sustainable office decommissioning program has led projects for AMN Healthcare in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota, and Texas.
