Looking to help make your customers’ workspaces a little greener? It’s time to ‘leaf no stone unturned’ by helping them transform their external spaces into eco-friendly havens
With the growing emphasis on sustainability in the workplace, have your customers considered how their external spaces could contribute to a greener environment? Here’s how dealers can assist businesses in enhancing their workspaces to support sustainability from the outside in.
Even if outdoor space at work is limited, there are numerous ways companies can leverage it to enhance their sustainability efforts. Whether your customer has a garden, a car park, or just a few flower planters, dealers can help transform these areas into more sustainable and appealing spaces.
Green additions
Creating a green space at work doesn’t require horticultural expertise. While most dealers may not specialise in plant sales, you can help businesses by providing essential tools for plant care. This might include outdoor fixtures and movable partitions for shade and creating breakout areas, or large containers for collecting rainwater. If you do offer plants, recommend native species and natural pollinators to foster local biodiversity.
Lighting and heating
Outdoor spaces like car parks require proper lighting to ensure safety and visibility. Innovative solutions such as energy-efficient outdoor heating systems, solar-powered lights and smart lighting can provide ample illumination with minimal environmental impact. For areas like outdoor storage, where heating may be used intermittently, a smart system can monitor and adjust usage to help reduce energy bills and minimise heat waste when the space is not in use.
Solar panels
Even if large-scale solar panels aren’t feasible for your customer’s setup, dealers can still assist customers in harnessing solar energy. Mobile solar panels provide a practical, cost-effective solution for powering devices, offering flexibility and the ability to reposition them around the premises as needed.
Embrace nature
Who doesn’t appreciate a touch of nature outside the window? For businesses with sufficient space, adding birdfeeders, nesting boxes and resting areas can attract wildlife and support biodiversity. Surrounding employees with nature not only boosts their wellbeing but also enhances focus and calmness, leading to improved overall wellness.
While garden products may not fall within the traditional scope of many dealers, the growing focus on creating sustainable and inviting environments means that by encouraging customers to incorporate eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing elements into their exterior spaces, they can align with broader sustainability goals and enhance the overall appeal of the workspace.
Moreover, dealers can assist customers in showcasing their commitment to sustainability by ensuring that their dedication to a greener planet is evident from the outside in.
