变废为宝

How do you turn 100,000 tons of corporate waste into $50M in charitable donations?

主题

Green Standards 的灵感来源于一个简单的观察: 公司的运作方式已经被打破。

传统上,当办公室搬迁、翻新或关闭时,所有物品都会被直接填埋。这包括仍有多年使用潜力的家具、固定装置和设备。为什么会出现这种情况?部分原因在于事后的考虑。在 "辞旧迎新 "的大环境下,人们只关注新的东西;而对于旧的东西,人们则视而不见,听而不闻。

旧办公室也有价值

但是,办公家具、固定装置和设备具有巨大的价值,尤其是对于非营利组织而言,否则它们就不得不挪用宝贵的资源来购买这些物品。Green Standards 的创始理念就是帮助大型组织释放其办公室搬迁的价值,使其社区内有价值的慈善机构、学校、收容所和其他组织受益。

From this simple idea, we’ve built a fast-growing, award-winning company that has reworked every step of office decommissioning. Our turnkey process makes it easy to do the right thing, as follows:

  1. 我们利用专有知识和深厚的网络,计算出您办公室内每一件物品的价值,从而确定捐赠、转售、搬迁或回收您的家具、固定装置和设备的最佳方式。
  2. 我们的团队关注每一个细节,确保每一步都能提供高效、合乎道德的服务。您选择的当地非营利组织将获得宝贵的捐赠
  3. 您可以在我们的门户网站上获得完整的数据和文件,从而实现完全透明和可审计,并直接纳入贵公司的 ESG 报告。

如何做到这一点?我们建立了一个跨国转售系统,确保优质家具的经济价值最大化。我们建立了一个专业回收商网络,当办公家具、固定装置和设备的生命周期结束时,它们的材料可以重新投入使用。我们还建立了衡量和最大化我们所有努力的技术,为客户提供他们所需的所有数据和文件,以证明他们在工作场所变革中获得了价值

We have helped large workplaces donate more than $50 million dollars in furniture, fixtures, and equipment to their communities, and in doing so have built the Green Standards Charitable Network of more than 20,000 non-profits around the world.

More than a decade after our founding, the values of environmental stewardship, social impact, and governance results are top of mind for shareholders and stakeholders in major organizations. When these organizations — including more than 40 of the corporations on the Fortune 100 — deal with workplace change, they depend on Green Standards to ensure their ESG values are integral to every step of the process.

Reach out to Green Standards today to donate your office furniture to non-profits nearby your offices.
