Our Environmental Promise

Green thinking is much more than just a state of mind. For us, preserving the environment is a daily commitment which we proudly fulfil through both our own internal policies and by promoting sustainable design in collaboration with our manufacturing partners.

As a responsible organization, DS&D maintains a Corporate Green Initiative team as well as company-wide sustainability policies which include:

  • On-site cardboard compactor.
  • Recycling stations readily available throughout our offices.
  • Recycled paper products, when available.
  • The use of only "Green" cleaning products.
  • Ceramic coffee mugs made available to reduce paper cup waste.
Plus, major adaptations of our landscaping policy:

  • Utilization of organic fertilizer.
  • Reduced mowing radius surrounding building.
  • Extended growth time between mowings.
Whether trying to attain LEED certification for your facility or simply exploring the use of earth-friendly sustainable products, DS&D can help. In conjunction with Steelcase, we offer an extensive collection of Cradle to Cradle certified products, more than any other company in any industry, and we can help you explore end-of-ownership alternatives such as recycling, refurbishing or donating of un-needed furniture.

The DS&D team is proud to include LEED APs (accredited professionals) and several LEED Green Associates - a quantity we are constantly improving. Working together with you and your design team, we can confidently help in achieving your green goals.
