Turn Today's Furniture Choice into Tomorrow's Contract Win

Are your best business moves getting blocked by something as simple as a sustainability gap? You've got the expertise, the competitive rates, and a track record that speaks volumes. But without hard evidence of your environmental commitment, potential clients are walking away - taking million-pound contracts with them.

Curious how leading businesses are turning their environmental claims into contract wins? Get in touch and let's explore your options.

The Hidden Impact of Your Office Furniture Choice: Why It Matters for Your Business


Did you think about your last office furniture purchase? Did you know that a single new desk creates about 47kg of CO₂ - the same as driving nearly 120 miles?  The same as driving from London to Brighton.

When you're equipping an entire office, these numbers quickly add up, and procurement teams are taking notice.

Making new furniture takes more than just assembly. Trees are cut down for wood, oil is processed for plastics, metal is mined and shaped - all burning energy and creating emissions at every step. Add in shipping (often from overseas), and the numbers keep climbing. These are exactly the numbers that could make or break your next contract bid.

But here's where it gets worse for your business case: when furniture ends up in landfill, it remains there for decades. Those materials - perfectly good wood, metal, and plastic - just taking up space and damaging the environment. That's the kind of waste that procurement teams are being told to avoid.

The New Reality of Environmental Credentials in Business


Now, take a look at your last business proposal submission. How many times did you write about your "commitment to sustainability" or your "environmental awareness"? And how many times could you back those claims?

But here's what procurement teams are really looking for when they evaluate those responses:

  • Specific data showing measurable environmental impact
  • Clear evidence of waste reduction in numbers
  • Concrete examples of circular economy participation
  • Documented proof of sustainability in action

In today's market, vague promises don't win contracts. But the answers you need might be sitting right under you. Literally. Your office furniture choices, both disposing of old assets and purchasing your new, pieces, could be the key to accessing those all-important environmental credentials that clients demand.

See how your furniture choices could strengthen your next proposal -get in touch with our team today.

Turning Second-Hand Office Furniture into Sustainability Credentials


Are your potential clients asking for sustainability proof you can't provide? Across every sector, decision-makers are now placing environmental credentials at the heart of their supplier selection. It's no longer enough to simply state your green intentions – they want evidence, metrics, and verified results.

The difference between winning and losing valuable business contracts often comes down to measurable environmental actions. While many businesses struggle to find meaningful sustainability data, industry leaders are securing major contracts by presenting clear evidence of their green initiatives - showing exact figures for carbon reduction and documented proof of circular economy participation.

Refurbished Office Furniture: The Smart Approach to Environmental Proof


When it comes to proving your environmental impact, we make it simple. At Coggin SOS, every piece of second-hand office furniture you choose comes with our exclusive Savings Certificate that transforms into powerful evidence for your proposals. They state exactly how much money, carbon and items from landfil you saved, providing you with the metrics you need to show stakeholders.

Instead of making general claims about sustainability, you'll receive:

  • Precise carbon savings in kilograms (translated into relatable equivalents like car miles)
  • Exact number of items diverted from landfill
  • Total weight of materials recycled
  • Official certification of your environmental contribution

The process is straightforward. We handle everything - from collecting your old office chairs and desks with zero waste to landfill, to providing professionally refurbished replacements from leading brands. Each step is documented in clear, detailed reports that prove your environmental commitment.
