Why a Sustainability Report?
Progress is never done. By launching an annual Sustainability Report, we’re committing to our goals and being transparent about our challenges. We understand that we have work to do, and this is where we identify that work and pledge action and improvement. This report is intended to be used as a benchmark for next year’s progress as well as a reflection of how far we’ve come.
Why now?
We've been on a sustainability journey for some years now: working to decrease the impact of our projects and our business itself. One of our key principles has always been Intentional Impact - working to understand the environmental, social and economic ramifications of every decision we make. However, the past financial year was a period of fundamental change for Interaction, and really marked the next phase of our sustainability journey.
Our move to our new office, The Quarter, in October 2023 meant we could track important sustainability metrics accurately for the first time. As our headcount increased, so has our emphasis on providing a people-first employee experience. We became a certified B CorpTM, a validation of the deep work we undertook to make our business one that prioritises people and planet as well as profit.
Creating Sustainable Workplaces
We help businesses to reduce the environmental impact of their fit-out in a number of ways, including:
Using sustainable materials and energy efficient technologies:
Sustainable materials, such as recycled wood and bamboo, can help to reduce the environmental impact of office construction and fit-out. Energy efficient technologies, such as LED lighting and smart thermostats, can help to reduce energy consumption.
Integrating natural elements:
Natural elements, such as plants and sunlight, can help to improve air quality and reduce stress levels. They can also help to create a more pleasant and productive work environment.
Designing for flexibility:
Sustainable office design should be flexible enough to accommodate changing business needs. This can be achieved by using modular furniture and creating spaces that can be easily adapted for different uses.
