People are starting to think more about the impact that our actions have on the environment, and it’s becoming clear that all the efforts we can make to be more sustainable count.
This is especially relevant for small businesses, as you often have a direct impact on local communities and the environment.
When you adopt sustainable practices, your small business can reduce its environmental footprint, save money on energy and resources, enhance its reputation, and attract eco-conscious customers.
When you work from a coworking space at a business hub, it can actually help your business contribute to sustainability efforts!
Coworking spaces allow small businesses to share a communal workspace, getting rid of the need for each business to operate its own office space.
This not only saves money on rent, utilities, and office supplies, but also helps reduce carbon emissions by reducing the amount of energy used for heating, lighting, and other amenities.
Coworking spaces allow all the tenants to share resources.
Coworking spaces are typically very accessible and in convenient areas, so sustainable transportation is another area where using these spaces can make a difference.
Biking to work, or taking public transport lets you stop relying on fossil fuels and reduces your and your employee’s costs.
Many business hubs also have charging points for electric cars, we offer them at Itek House which lets anybody in our location use an electric vehicle.
Itek House is located in a convenient area, with direct bus access, and a nearby train station, making it convenient to access without driving.
When you’re selecting your suppliers and partners as a small business, you can prioritise sustainability by choosing those who are also sustainable.
Many coworking spaces will work with the local community, source local materials, and put effort into reducing their carbon footprint.
Reducing negative environmental impact when you can, is key, so work with those who share the same concerns.
Overall, including sustainable practices in your daily operations as a small business can have significant benefits for the environment, your bottom line, and your reputation.
Renting a coworking space at a business hub that shares care for sustainability is a great way to start this journey.
By sharing resources, and reducing energy consumption, waste, and transportation emissions, you can have a positive impact on the environment and contribute to building a more sustainable community and future.
