Smarter, Greener Workplaces: How Sustainable Technology Supports Better Business

Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a business priority. From reducing operational costs to meeting ESG goals, organisations are rethinking the way they work to minimise their environmental impact. At Ethos, we help businesses take practical, meaningful steps toward sustainability through future-ready workplace technology.

Why Sustainable Tech Makes Business Sense

With more organisations setting net-zero targets and environmental expectations rising across supply chains, sustainability is now a key part of how companies evaluate partners, make decisions, and operate. But it’s not just about compliance—there are tangible business benefits, too.

Choosing sustainable solutions can help:

  • Lower energy and running costs
  • Streamline everyday operations
  • Reduce waste and carbon emissions
  • Strengthen appeal to eco-conscious customers, employees, and investors

Sustainable technology supports smarter, leaner, and more resilient operations—without compromising productivity.

How Ethos Supports Greener Workplaces

At Ethos, sustainability is a fundamental aspect of our workplace solutions. Whether reducing paper waste or cutting energy use, our services are designed to help businesses operate more responsibly while still getting the job done.

For every 8,333 pages printed, a tree is planted in certified reforestation projects worldwide. It’s tracked, verified, and aligned with sustainability reporting needs.

So far, Ethos customers have:

  • Offset the equivalent of 6,979,423 standard sheets of paper
  • Reforested 838 standard trees
