Glass guide

ESG and sustainability with glass in commercial properties

ESG often remains abstract. With glass projects it becomes more concrete when materials are planned to be durable, easy to clean, repairable and suitable for changing uses.

Environmental: using for longer, replacing less

Glass partitions, glass wall panels and doors can be used for a long time and, when the room layout changes, can often be fitted in neatly. This reduces short-term throwaway decisions.

Social: making rooms brighter and more usable

Glass can combine daylight, orientation and discretion. In offices, practices and reception areas, this has an effect on employees, customers and patients.

Governance: planning you can follow

For decisions on commercial properties, what counts are clear requirements, ease of maintenance, documentation and a reliable process from consultation to installation.

• define cleaning and hygiene requirements openly
• balance privacy, acoustics and orientation
• mention the existing building, fire protection or special requirements early on

Preparing an ESG-ready enquiry

• use: office, practice, reception, laboratory or sanitary area
• requirements for cleaning, privacy and maintenance
• floor plan, photos and the time frame you have in mind
