According to the architects: ‘The driving principle of the design was zero-waste construction, and the building can ultimately be demounted. Every element of the construction has been considered to ensure as much as possible can be re-used or recycled once the building reaches the end of its useful life.’
As part of a series of initiatives to proactively tackle its carbon footprint and environmental impact, The Future Laboratory has launched a sustainability policy comprising tactical decisions on its future that will have direct environmental benefits; the move to our new office was carefully chosen for its sustainability rating and carbon-neutral status, and reducing our office space to less than one third of its previous size will also contribute to a marked reduction in our ongoing carbon footprint.
Here at The Future Laboratory, our team are constantly striving for betterment in all areas, particularly for people and the planet. By holding ourselves and each other to account in a compassionate way, we have built a culture that allows each of us to do our best work. To this end, the team have drawn up a Cultural Charter – a statement of intent and a vision for the next stage of growth and development for the company.
For the next five years and beyond, the two pillars that make up the focus of our Cultural Charter will be Sustainability and Equity – ensuring we have a successful future based on equitable empowerment, with a lasting legacy. The future cannot happen without this commitment, and it is the responsibility of us all, both as individuals and as a community at The Future Laboratory. We are happy to share this charter with you and we hope you find it useful.
