With the rapid deterioration of Mother Nature, the world is becoming increasingly aware of the importance of preserving and conserving the environment.
As a result, many businesses are embracing green practices to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier planet, leading to the demand for green offices.
As developers, we are not lagging behind thanks to our almost complete Purple Tower building on Mombasa Road, simply a few meters from the Nyayo roundabout, which has embraced the concept of green offices. Seated on a 1.14 acre, it is the only green and EDGE-certified building on Mombasa Road, aiming to create a sustainable and eco-friendly work environment to benefit both the planet and the well-being and productivity of employees.
The mixed-use development is centrally located and strategically nestled near key urban addresses including the city’s Central Business District, Upperhill, Westlands, Industrial Area, Wilson Airport and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) as well as the SGR Terminal. The 14-floor edifice, conveniently positioned near the Expressway’s entry/exit lanes promotes sustainability, energy efficiency, occupant well-being and a dozen more reasons to go green!
As a green office, Purple Tower adopts practices that minimize the negative impact on the environment. These include reducing energy consumption, conserving water, and implementing waste reduction and recycling programs. This way, businesses can significantly lower carbon emissions, preserve natural resources and reduce pollution.
As an EDGE-certified building, Purple Tower prioritizes employee well-being by creating a healthier workspace. All the offices have access to natural light and proper ventilation systems, all proven to improve employee productivity, thus enhancing overall job satisfaction.
As we would put it, go green, save a dime! Implementing energy-efficient measures in a green office like the Purple Tower can significantly reduce costs. Energy-efficient lighting systems, appliances, and equipment reduce electricity bills, decrease energy demand, and benefit the environment by conserving resources.
Think about it. An office with less pollution, eco-friendly building materials and close to no carbon emission has to be a breathe of fresh air!
Traditional office spaces can harbour indoor air pollutants and toxins from building materials, chemicals, and cleaning products used. On the other hand, Purple Tower, as a green space, focuses on environmentally friendly building materials, finishes, and cleaning products that emit fewer or no harmful chemicals, thereby improving indoor air quality and creating a healthier workspace.
Topping up the list, name a better way to boost brand image than going green. We will wait. Companies that adopt green practices earn a positive reputation and attract environmentally conscious customers, partners, and employees. Businesses committed to sustainability are seen as responsible and forward-thinking, which boosts brand loyalty and creates a competitive advantage in the market. Purple Tower is at the top of the list.
Have you heard of the ripple effect theory? It applies here. Thanks to the green design strategies implemented in the office, employees and people interacting with the Purple Tower will fall into a routine that eventually turns to habits transferred to homes and stick to daily life routines that positively affect the environment.
As global awareness of environmental issues rises, the transition to green offices becomes a logical choice. By adopting sustainable practices, businesses can reduce their ecological footprint, enhance employee well-being, and create a positive brand image. Ultimately, the decision to invest in a green office is not only beneficial for the planet but also makes good business sense.
