The Importance of Corporate Sustainability
Companies are becoming more aware of the importance of sustainability in their businesses. Many are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They are transitioning to choosing more sustainable solutions, in order to help save the environment and to create a better working climate. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) emphasises choosing long-term sustainable options over easy and quick wins.
Making better choices and rethinking the way we work is something we cannot do alone. Working together with smart solutions, technologies, partners and peers make us drastically rethink how to develop and implement sustainable solutions. Many organisations are making sustainability part of their corporate proposition. With the help of GoBright software solutions and products, you can implement sustainable, smart and effective solutions that yield great results in the long term. Not only for the environment, but also for the well-being of your employees and your own wallet.
A Sustainable Office: Efficient & Effective
With GoBright solutions you not only improve workplace management, but you also support hybrid working and a more sustainable and responsible use of the office and its resources.
Using Smart Technology
The basis of creating a sustainable office, is gathering insights. Analytics based on data helps to understand user behaviour and preferences. Important elements for making efficient and responsible choices for your sustainable office.
In the GoBright platform, you gather analytics based on booking data, occupancy rates, no-shows and more with 100% accuracy. This way you can reduce energy and extend equipment lifecycle. For example with GoBright Room Booking in combination with the Room Control and Room Sensors, equipment, and lights are only used when the room is occupied for example. Electronics furthermore switch on and off automatically when entering/leaving the room. All this data is influential in managing sustainability in the office which in its turn reduces expenses and decreases your carbon footprint.

Return on Investment in the Sustainable Workplace
Realising a sustainable office is beneficial for many things. Besides creating a better work environment for your employees and being responsible for the environment, you save money. Return on Investment for equipment for example. By regulating energy, lights, screens, AV-equipment, and air conditioning your equipment lasts longer ad require less replacement or maintenance.
Save costs on floorspace
Based on analytics you can manage the floorspace that is actually being used in the office. With this information you can make sustainable choices, by for example closing certain floors and lower the energy consumption. Or even moving to a smaller building if you need less floorspace in the long-term. Or removing desks and computer screens when the data shows they are not frequently used. This way you can save costs and repurpose them.
Sustainable office design does not always mean that less office space is required. It means that the office can be set up more efficient and effective, which is the most important element of responsible and sustainable thinking.
A Smart Workplace is inclusive
Sustainability is not only about the environment. It also says something about the durability of the workplace and its processes. Your employees’ needs today may not be the same as tomorrow’s. This is why GoBright offers scalability, allowing you to adjust and tailor your Smart Workplace Solutions to match your employees’ changing needs.
Another important aspect of durability is inclusivity. Employees are and remain the most important part of any company. It is therefore important for any business to use Smart Workplace Solutions that are easy to use for everybody. GoBright constantly develops the software to make it even more accessible to everybody. We are currently working on adding options for keyboard navigation and developing colour contrast throughout the software. Additionally, our team is working to create hover states, to provide the user with information when they hover above an interactive element. Want to be the first to know when these additions go live?
