Brands are modifying their offices to focus on net-zero emissions
Trend - Businesses are partnering with sustainable development companies, or launching research divisions, to craft carbon-neutral or negative offices. These buildings use renewable energies and sustainable materials as part of carbon offsetting measures—resulting in tax benefits and lower operation costs.
Insight - Large businesses, particularly those connected to large product supply chains, are increasingly receiving pressure from regulating bodies and environmental NGOs to become more sustainable. These businesses are beginning to monitor each part of their operations to identify areas that can be improved to reduce their emissions. As a result, many businesses have chosen infrastructure as a focus for eco-efforts. Businesses that invest in these shifts improve their image while appeasing regulators.
