EcoVadis Toronto Office: A Benchmark in Sustainable Design

This headquarter spans 16,000 square feet and showcases an innovative approach to sustainability. By incorporating 95% repurposed, refurbished and remanufactured furniture, this project drastically reduced the embodied carbon typically associated with new office designs. The use of pre-owned workstations and seating exemplified how a cutting-edge, functional workspace can be created without heavy reliance on newly manufactured products, conserving resources and minimizing waste.

Key sustainability features include carbon-neutral flooring, locally sourced materials, and energy-efficient LED lighting systems supplemented by occupancy sensors. Biophilic design elements such as a moss accent wall and indoor trees were incorporated to enhance employee well-being. Additionally, Envirotech’s third-party verified Life Cycle Analyses (LCA) on remanufactured furniture added credibility to the project’s environmental integrity.

The EcoVadis headquarters is a trailblazer in demonstrating that high-performance, modern workspaces can be both sustainable and stylish. By focusing on reducing embodied carbon and rethinking traditional procurement models, this project serves as an inspiring blueprint for future corporate interior design.
