As we wrap 2024, our clients deserve a ton of thanks. Or more accurately, 10,455 tons of thanks, since that's how much office furniture, fixtures, and equipment they've kept out of landfill.

This #GivingTuesday, we salute all the organizations that have prioritized community donations in their sustainable decommissioning plans. In 2024 to date, we've distributed $5,027,085 worth of their furniture, fixtures, and equipment to 1,008 non-profits in the Green Standards Charitable Network — a new record in our company's 15-year history.

And we’re literally sitting on top of it." – at Toronto, Ontario
