Sustainable Office Operations Buoyed by Green Team

Woodard & Curran has a longstanding history of making improvements in our business operations that both reduce environmental impacts and improve efficiency and processes. Beyond our efforts to assess and reduce the carbon emissions from our business operations, we’ve been evaluating areas of our office supply purchasing since 2016.

With respect to operating our offices in a sustainable manner, in 2022 we worked to provide “right-sized” office spaces for our employees, while reducing our overall footprint. This included relocating offices to smaller, more nimble spaces as well as pursuing a basecamp concept in co-working spaces. This allowed our employees to collaborate and engage with each other in person while working in an efficient and appropriately sized workspace. In addition, we have added certain elements to new offices including living/moss walls; less furniture pieces (keeping efficiency and effectiveness in mind); reduction of paper and plastic use; moving away from single-use coffee machines; centralized trash bins instead of individual barrels at each workstation (less plastic and waste); and smaller production rooms so they are not overstocked with unused office supplies.

Efforts to improve the sustainability of our office-level business operations are led by our Office Leaders and Facility teams, with the help of our dedicated Green Team community. In 2022, our Green Team continued to contribute to our annual Office Sustainability Program and shared communications to their colleagues via three environmental engagement campaigns. Our Green Team community held campaigns focused on taking actions tied to the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals for Earth Month, altering transportation to reduce our carbon footprint, and education on conscious consumption pertaining to material items and food waste. Campaigns were reviewed and updated to focus on up-and-coming ‘green’ and sustainability initiatives for individual employees and entire company. Our environmental advocacy messages have continued to shift towards the new, virtual work environments that were established in 2020.
