We work hard to be good environmental stewards — for our clients, our team, and the communities we work in.
Great workplaces shouldn’t cost the planet. BOS builds sustainability into every project — from greener specification with Haworth, an industry leader in LEED solutions, to reuse and decommission that keeps thousands of workstations out of landfills every year.
We live that commitment daily and build it into our corporate mission. It shows up two ways: lighter specification up front, and a circular approach to what leaves the building — reusing, remanufacturing, and recycling instead of sending furniture to a landfill.
Every year, we keep this out of the landfill.
Through reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling — much of it through our AOI decommissioning operation — BOS diverts thousands of workstations and millions of pounds of material annually.
Our sustainability commitment, in motion.
From a linear economy to a circular one.
For years, the economy ran on a linear value stream — products with short, one-way life spans. Haworth and BOS are working to change that paradigm into a circular, sustainable economy, where product and materials keep their value.
Sustainable products & sourcing
Greener specification and materials, sourced responsibly from the start.
Shared knowledge & services
Sharing expertise and services so clients make lower-impact decisions.
Community engagement
Continuous support and engagement of the communities we work in.
Global accountability
Accountability for the impact of our operations, everywhere we work.
Good for the planet and your bottom line.
When a project ends, the old furniture doesn’t have to become waste. Our AOI operation gives it a second life.
- ✓Decommission — clear a space cleanly, with a plan for everything that leaves it.
- ✓Resell & reuse — new, used, and remanufactured inventory keeps product in service.
- ✓Recycle — what can’t be reused is recycled, down to 500 tons of metal a year.
- ✓Donate — usable product finds a second home instead of a landfill.
Sustainability isn’t just a Buzzword at BOS.
Recycling programs
Ongoing recycling of paper and computers across our own operations.
Efficient logistics
Consolidating deliveries to run our fleet as efficiently as possible.
Built into our mission
Sustainability written into our corporate policies and our team’s choices.
Every project comes with a Sustainability Impact Report.
The proof isn’t just company-wide — we quantify it for your project, too. From reuse and resale to recycling and donation, there are several good options for your old furniture, each with real financial and environmental upside. Our decommissioning and reuse experts handle the process, then give you a report that quantifies your project’s environmental impact.
