AFD is proud to support our industry’s movement toward more sustainable and environmentally-responsible workspace design, products, and practices. We recognize the importance of balancing the current demands of the corporate workplace with the conservation of our natural resources and the welfare of our future generations. AFD LEED Accredited, on-staff Project Managers represent a commitment to helping our customers blend the needs of business profitability, workers’ health, and protection of our planet with office furniture sustainability. To ensure that unused products in our inventory do not end up in landfills, we ensure these products are donated to local schools and townships in the New York tri-state area. Additionally, AFD’s “Eco-Eliminate Program” was established to sustainably remove surplus furniture and equipment in line with the rules and bylaws of the NYC Business Integrity Commission (BIC). When the work is completed, the client will be provided documentation that this service was done following guidelines and protocols of the BIC.
We take sustainability seriously and only partner with companies whose practices align with our high standards of sustainability. For example, Steelcase is now carbon neutral in their own operations and is on track to reduce their carbon emissions by 50% by 2030.
