Social responsibility is inherent in ecological sustainability. Companies that take part in office greening strive to ensure that their organisations sit in balance not only within the natural world but also in balance within the human community.

In practice this means that organisations who are focused on greening their offices will consider:

Living Wage

Companies will aim to pay a minimum of the Living Wage to all staff and sub-contracted staff working for their business, thereby ensuring that no person associated with their office is living on poverty wages

Fair Trade

Companies will aim to purchase items that are Fair Trade, thereby ensuring that people producing products used in the office are guaranteed a decent standard of living.

Local Community, Supply Chains and Business Ethics

Companies will always strive to be good neighbours and have a positive affect on their local community, supply chains and conduct their business guided by sound ethics.
