The BOS team works hard to be good environmental stewards. From helping our clients to create more sustainable spaces to our strong partnership with Haworth, the industry leader in LEED solutions, BOS is committed to offering greener products and services. We live this commitment daily by employing our own internal sustainability initiatives. These include recycling programs for paper and computers, consolidating our deliveries to be as efficient as possible, and building sustainability into our corporate mission. From our corporate policies to the lifestyle choices of our team, sustainability matters at BOS.

Haworth Value Stream Approach
For years, the economy promoted a linear value stream that focused on products and services with short, linear life spans. It is the goal of Haworth and BOS to improve this paradigm into a circular value stream that includes products and services that are part of a circular, sustainable economy. Shifting to this holistic approach requires sustainable products and sourcing, the sharing of knowledge and services, continuous support and engagement of the community, and the accountability of our global operations.
