Swire Properties and Sustainable Office Solutions offer green furniture management service

Swire Properties is partnering with Sustainable Office Solutions (SOS) to launch an environmentally friendly office furniture management solution for Taikoo Place and Pacific Place office tenants. The initiative gives them exclusive access to premium and re-used furniture products at a physical showroom provided by the Company. Tenants can also browse the full inventory using a digital marketplace tool, or book appointments to inspect items in person before purchasing.

Don Taylor, Director, Office at Swire Properties, said that the Company is delighted to be working closely with SOS to offer an original solution that helps tenants manage and procure office furniture in a more sustainable way during their refurbishments and fit-outs, and to support the transition towards a circular economy.

In addition to this service, a sustainable office furniture redistribution service is also available to the Company's office tenants, whereby unwanted office furniture can be rehomed, donated or recycled with the help of SOS' professional services. So far, five tenants at the two office buildings have successfully used this option to dispose of more than 500 furniture items weighing 18 tonnes that could have ended up at landfills.
