Coffee and lunch breaks.
- Use reusable tableware: bring your own cup, cutlery and plate.
- Favour local shops and those with responsible offerings.
- Remember to bring your own bag and container to avoid over-packaged products.
- Treat yourself at the Comptoir — it's 1% for the Planet certified!
Recycling and waste sorting.
- Follow your space's sorting guidelines — you can review them here.

At your desk: cut down on waste
The lifespan of your equipment.
- Opt for repair before replacement.

Your energy use.
- Set your devices to "energy-saving" and "quick sleep" modes.
- Unplug your charger once the battery is full.
