Businesses need partners who walk the talk when it comes to sustainability. At Unisource Solutions, sustainability isn't a trend—it's been at the core of our business since 1987, beginning with our efforts to help clients reuse and recycle existing furniture. As we look ahead in 2025, our commitment has only grown stronger in response to evolving climate challenges and resource demands.
For over three decades, Unisource Solutions has partnered with forward-thinking clients to minimize waste and lower environmental footprints across all areas of business. Our mission remains clear as we face growing climate demands: increase awareness, eliminate unnecessary waste, and lead with intention.
As a furniture dealer, manufacturer, and service provider, we understand the role our operations play in shaping environmental outcomes. That's why we're focused on continuous improvement—designing smarter, working cleaner, and collaborating with our clients to build spaces that meet the demands of both people and planet.
Our comprehensive approach to sustainability encompasses multiple facets of our business operations:
Our commitment to the circular economy means we're constantly finding ways to maximize the value of our clients' resources while minimizing environmental impact. In 2024 alone, we diverted 430 tons of reused, recycled, and repurposed products and materials from landfills, generating $63,000 in savings for end users.
Our approach follows an industry-standard waste hierarchy that prioritizes the most sustainable options first:
Our innovative decommissioning services help clients like PNC Bank, Harbor–UCLA Medical Center, State Fund, and Union Bank transition to new workspaces responsibly. Using an advanced inventory system, we repair, refurbish, and repurpose assets wherever possible. When it's time to reconfigure or launch a new workspace, we access what's on hand and redeploy it with intention—minimizing waste, extending asset life, and maximizing value.
Our eco-conscious decommissioning processes include:
In 2024, Unisource Solutions donated 34,000 pounds of quality office furniture to nonprofit organizations and charities, including the Boys & Girls Club of Conejo Valley. These contributions not only supported local communities but also extended the life of valuable assets that might otherwise have ended up in landfills.
To date, more than 60 nonprofit organizations have received furniture through our donation program, including impactful projects with organizations like State Fund and Union Bank that resulted in substantial charitable giving.
Our sustainability efforts extend to our partnerships with manufacturers who share our values. Platform by Unisource Solutions partners only with local manufacturers who operate with high environmental awareness, using 100% pre-consumer recycled wood fiber particle board and 100% recyclable shipping materials.
We're also proud of our partnerships with companies like Haworth and Humanscale, who join us in our commitment to people and planet. Together with Humanscale, we've achieved remarkable environmental savings over the past four years:
At Unisource Solutions, we believe sustainability is not just a responsibility—it's an opportunity to innovate and create better workplaces. As we continue our sustainability journey in 2025 and beyond, we remain committed to learning, improving, and working alongside our clients to make lasting, measurable progress for our communities and the planet.
Together, we can shape a better, more sustainable future—one workplace at a time.
