Reduce Costs and Improve Sustainability with Green Workplace Economics™

Now more than ever, organizations are looking for new measures that can help reduce costs while meeting corporate environmental mandates and objectives.

Corporate real estate and facilities managers are under pressure to identify immediate cost savings in the face of a major economic crisis, an enormous environmental challenge and a technological revolution which is leading to a rapid transformation in workplace dynamics. In addition, legislation and corporate social responsibility is driving enterprises to achieve a sustainable reduction of their CO2 footprint. Increasing workforce flexibility requirements represent potential for simultaneously accomplishing both goals.

Organizations are quickly discovering there is vast potential to capitalize on these objectives in the area of real estate and facilities. In fact, recent enterprise surveys show there is more than 20% hidden waste in physical resources and workforce time spent on workplace-related assets. Buildings create an enormous ecological footprint by consuming more than 45% of commercial energy resources.
