I know that title is pretty ambiguous. Steelcase? Eco-meter? It all means nothing!

Steelcase is the world’s leader in office furniture manufacturing and workspace designing. Recently they came up with the Eco-Meter, which allows companies to assess the environmental impact of their work spaces.

“The Eco-meter is more than just a tool to calculate carbon emissions. It allows us to examine both economical and environmental outcomes of running an organization in order to optimize efficiency and productivity while safeguarding the environment,” says Mark Spragg, the Managing Director of Steelcase UK.

“More and more clients in the public and private sectors expect us to be able to assess in detail the environmental impact of not just our products, but their whole offices. We intend to use the Eco-meter as part of our workspace consultancy projects.”

The best thing about the eco-meter is that offices and businesses can tailor it to suit their individual needs. It enables employers to compare different office spaces and different criteria within their office space to maximize environmental sustainability without compromising environmental and ethical or the quality of the workplace environment.
