At The Green Office, we believe that doing good business means doing good for the planet and the people who live on it. Our Environmental and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy is at the heart of how we operate—from the products we sell, to how we deliver them, and how we engage with our suppliers, customers, and communities. We’re proud to combine sustainability with practicality, helping businesses create greener workspaces without compromising on quality, service, or price.

We are committed to minimising our environmental impact and promoting more sustainable practices in everything we do. That means:

• Prioritising recycled, recyclable, and eco-certified products
• Reducing packaging and switching to plastic-free or compostable materials
• Offering a greener delivery service that reduces emissions and supports carbon offsetting
• Encouraging customers to choose greener alternatives across every category
• Working with suppliers who share our commitment to responsible sourcing and sustainable production

We continually review and improve our operations to align with best practices in environmental management. Over 42% of our catalogue now features sustainable product alternatives, and 40% of our paper-based products are FSC certified.

As part of our environmental efforts, we’ve partnered with Tree Nation to plant a tree for every order placed through our site. This simple, automatic action helps offset carbon emissions, rebuild forests, and restore biodiversity. Learn more about our tree planting initiative and your impact here

Sustainability goes beyond the environment—it’s also about how we treat people, communities, and the wider world. Our CSR efforts focus on:

• Ethical supply chains – We work with suppliers who follow fair labour practices and environmental standards, adhering to the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) base code.
• Supporting UK businesses – We prioritise local suppliers and promote UK-manufactured goods where possible, with over 80% of our direct suppliers based in the UK.
• Community support – We engage in initiatives that give back, including our partnership with Cash for Kids,and Inspire+
• Inclusion & diversity – We foster a respectful and inclusive workplace and support businesses doing the same. 

We know sustainability is a journey, not a checkbox. That's why we set clear goals and continually evaluate our impact:

90% sustainable packaging by 2027

Carbon neutral delivery on all orders within the UK by 2028

Reduce waste across our supply chain by 5% year-on-year

We're transparent about where we are and where we’re heading—and we welcome feedback from customers, partners, and peers. Our annual Sustainability Report provides a detailed overview of our progress and future targets.

When you choose The Green Office, you’re choosing a partner who shares your values. Whether you’re looking to reduce your footprint, meet ESG targets, or simply make better everyday choices, we’re here to help. Together, we can build a smarter, more sustainable way of working.
