At BusinessLodge, sustainability isn’t a side note — it’s akey part of how we operate, design, and grow our flexible office spaces. As wemark World Environment Day on 5th June, we’re proud to shine a light onthe steps we’re taking to reduce our environmental impact — and how ourbusiness model actively contributes to a more sustainable future.
Sustainable Workspaces Start with Smarter Buildings
Unlike many purpose-built office developments, almost evryBusinessLodge centre is a repurposed, fully renovated building. That means we don’tcontribute to the carbon footprint of new construction — a process thattypically requires significant energy, materials, and land use.
Instead, we bring underused, outdated properties back tolife — transforming them into vibrant, modern business hubs that meet the needsof today’s professionals. Whether it’s our centre in Bury, Stoke-on-Trent,or the newly launched Widnes site, each location reflects our commitmentto adaptive reuse, a core principle of sustainable development.
By renovating rather than rebuilding, we help preservearchitectural heritage, reduce construction waste, and dramatically lower ourembodied carbon emissions — all while delivering state-of-the-art workspacesolutions.
How BusinessLodge Supports Sustainable Working
Sustainability isn’t just about how we build. It’s also about how we operate — and how we help our clients do the same.
Here are just some of the ways we’re embedding environmentally friendly practices into every BusinessLodge location:
Most centres use reusable crockery, ceramic mugs and stainless steel cutlery.
Water refill stations throughout our buildings encourage clients to bring their own bottles and reduce plastic consumption.
We’re supporting the switch to electric vehicles with on-site EV charging at all sites, helping cut commuting emissions.
We make cycling to work easy and secure, with dedicated bike storage at every BusinessLodge centre.
Smart lighting systems ensure energy is only used when needed, reducing unnecessary electricity use.
We’ve replaced harsh chemicals with sustainable, non-toxic cleaning solutions across all sites.
We’ve implemented a new recycling system to support better waste separation and reduce contamination. Office bins have been replaced with centralised, clearly labelled recycling stations to help all clients meet updated waste management guidelines.
Flexible Space, Long-Term Impact
As businesses move away from large, long-term office leases and embrace flexible working models, we believe the future of work must also be the future of sustainability.
BusinessLodge’s flexible licences, virtual office services and co-working solutions make it easier for companies to scale sustainably, only using the space and resources they truly need. Our shared spaces reduce energy consumption per business, while offering all the professional support and amenities of a traditional office building.
Looking Ahead
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. As we continue to invest in our centres and expand our offering, our commitment to the environment remains central. We’re constantly exploring ways to reduce our footprint, work smarter, and help our clients do the same.
This World Environment Day, we’re proud to stand behind the choices we’ve made — and the impact we’re creating.
If you’re looking for a workspace that aligns with your values, supports your business, and treads more lightly on the planet — we’d love to welcome you to BusinessLodge.
