In today’s age, the sustainability of the environment has become something everyone is, or should be, concerned with. It’s the norm to be eco-conscious about the food we eat, the products we purchase and the waste we recycle but it doesn’t just stop there…. It extends into the workspace, something that veteran Giant Leap is well aware of.
Creating the green workspace and maximizing both the economic and environmental performance of the space is a part of the process when you create an office space with Giant Leap. As a member of the Green Building Council, Giant Leap always recommends products in line with environmental regulations. All materials used (woods, paints, finishes) are volatile organic compound (VOC) free.
“We prioritise new materials that are durable, cost-effective and less harmful to human and environmental health. We also make sure we focus on interior solutions that consider energy efficiency and the use of recyclable products.”- Giant Leap.
“We also have a Green Building Council South Africa Accredited Professional who can ensure that our fit-outs are rated through the Green Building Council’s Interiors tool. The benefits of this are tremendous. Not only do organisations get a very prestigious certification that highlights their dedication to sustainability, but offices that are sustainability-rated have been shown to increase productivity, improve wellbeing and increase staff satisfaction. There is also a real return on investment, as research in South Africa has shown that Green Star SA buildings enjoy energy savings of between 25% and 50%, compared to buildings designed to SANS 204 standards. In addition to this, Green Star buildings are showing higher rental rates of between 5 and 6%.”
But Giant Leap doesn’t just stop there a part of their philosophy is to support local too. They have a great working relationship with local manufacturers and help to upkeep local job stability. Ensuring that they are both socially and environmentally responsible.
Giant Leap is the right choice for creating cutting edge workplaces that are eco-conscious and have the best quality materials. From a company that works to bring you a design you will love to work in, and superior interiors that inspire innovation, Giant Leap makes people happier and business better.
