Future Fit 2030

Future Fit 2030 is our sustainability strategy and call-to-action plan to improve industry outcomes with furniture and fit-outs.

This plan is our driving force to inspire better outcomes at the heart of the workplace, and this strategy engages all parts of our business and team members, including product development & design, sourcing, operations, project management and client advisory.

The years in the run up to 2030 are critical to make a more positive impact and we want to help our clients and consultants achieve a better fit with their projects, workplaces and enhance how people & the environment interact.

Partnerships

All Heart

There’s an abundance of surplus office furniture in New Zealand and very rarely will businesses be able to sell their redundant furniture. If you have furniture in your office that you no longer need, and you’re looking for a sustainable solution, Europlan can help. We work with All Heart NZ, a registered charitable trust, to redirect surplus furniture to communities in need. This is achieved at no greater cost than sending your items to the landfill.

Whether you have a few desks or a few floors of surplus furniture, Europlan and All Heart NZ can assist in providing you with a sustainable service that benefits your community. Read more about the work we do with All Heart NZ in this case study here 

Haworth

We’re proud partners of Haworth, who are deeply committed to addressing climate change. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is at the heart of their strategy, helping them translate global climate objectives into measurable, achievable goals.

Their commitment is clear:

  • By 2030: Reduce operational emissions by 60% and supply chain emissions by 42%
  • By 2050: Reduce both operational and supply chain emissions by 90%
