Sustainability at Gibbsonn

At Gibbsonn we believe sustainability must be more than a headline. It must be built into the products we offer, the way we design spaces and how we help businesses adapt their workspaces over time.

Office pods are inherently more sustainable than traditional construction. Unlike fixed meeting rooms and built in partitions, pods are freestanding, relocatable and reusable. When a business moves or reorganises its workspace, pods can move with them. That means no destructive demolition, no wasted materials, and no costly dilapidation works, all of which significantly reduces environmental impact compared to conventional construction.

We also carefully select products from manufacturers with strong environmental commitments and responsible practices. These include Framery, Vetrospace, BlockO and Kabin, each bringing quality, durability and thoughtful design that supports sustainability in real working environments.

Framery Sustainability Leadership

Framery’s sustainability programme focuses on climate and environment, people and society, and fair business practices. In 2024 Framery launched new smart pods that are 23% lighter than their predecessors, a key step toward their target of reducing product emissions by 50% by 2028 compared to 2023. Third party verified environmental performance data is publicly documented in Environmental Product Declarations for key models such as Framery One and Framery Four.

Framery’s ongoing achievements include:

  • Silver Medal sustainability rating from EcoVadis, placing them among the top companies assessed globally.
  • More than 50% recycled or bio based waste management and material efficiency above 95%.
  • Participation in global climate and science initiatives aimed at limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
  • A transition to circular business models where pods can be leased, refurbished and re deployed for multiple lifecycles, greatly extending their useful life and reducing waste.

This approach means that each Framery pod is designed to create more value than the resources it uses, making Framery a net positive company. Framery pods also deliver certified indoor air quality and safety standards, helping workplaces become healthier and more productive.

Pods and the Circular Economy

Pods are a clear example of circular thinking in modern workspace design. Because they:

  • are freestanding and relocatable,
  • can be reinstalled in new spaces without demolition,
  • avoid traditional construction waste,
  • and can be refurbished or resold at end of use,

they produce far less landfill waste and reuse far more material over their lifetime than conventional built interiors.

This means pods are not just sustainable in their manufacture, they are sustainable in how they are used throughout their lifecycle. We encourage clients to think beyond installation and consider how products can adapt as teams grow, shrink or change how they work.

  • Reduce environmental impact by promoting modular, flexible workspace products.
  • Partner with manufacturers who have verifiable sustainability programmes.
  • Advise on products that support long lifecycles, recyclability and reduced material waste.
