Design of the Workplace

A new report released at the Ecocity World Summit gives modern office workers a voice for the first time since the pandemic on sustainability goals. Design of the Workplace shows evidence that employers’ credentials in sustainability and, specifically, design of workspaces are non-negotiable among future business leaders. As well as being essential to the health of our planet, the findings show environmentally friendly, well-designed workspaces lead to greater productivity, feeling valued, calm and wellbeing.

Commissioned by Brookfield Properties in partnership with Foster + Partners, a global architecture and design studio, Design of the Workplace reveals a clear preference for companies who take green issues seriously – from the design of office spaces, their content and practices to supply chains.

In this report commissioned in partnership with Foster & Partners, a global architecture and design studio, Design of the Workplace reveals a clear preference for companies who take green issues seriously – from the design of office spaces, their content and practices to supply chains.

The report also reveals what makes for a good workplace experience – an invaluable new blueprint, and at time when three quarters (74%) of office workers feel more productive and creative when in an office environment versus working from home.

“Design of the Workplace and our workstation installation at the Barbican in collaboration with Foster + Partners reflects what we are hearing from our occupiers on their strong desire to know how to further reduce their workplace carbon footprint and dial up efficiencies in delivering upon their ESG goals. We are very proud to share our findings in support of both the Ecocity World Summit and all our other partners,” commented Brookfield Properties’ Executive Vice President Dan Scanlon.

Design of the Workplace follows Brookfield Properties’ Art of the Workplace report which was commissioned last year in partnership with The School of Life and examined the power of arts and creativity to connect communities and propel well-being among office workers.
