Corporate Sustainability Reporting: How Interior Planting Adds Measurable Value

As sustainability reporting evolves from optional to expected, businesses are looking beyond energy audits and recycling bins. One of the most effective—and often overlooked—tools to support ESG goals is interior planting.

Why Biophilic Design Matters

Biophilic design, or incorporating nature into indoor environments, is proven to improve employee well-being and productivity. But it also offers direct alignment with ESG frameworks:

Environmental – Plants reduce carbon dioxide, improve air quality, and can lower reliance on HVAC systems. Flora-tec, for example, is a certified carbon neutral business that prioritises sustainable sourcing and operational efficiency.

Social – Access to nature is a key workplace well-being indicator. Green spaces reduce stress, increase satisfaction, and can help lower absenteeism.

Governance – Working with certified suppliers ensures environmentally responsible procurement, supporting broader governance goals.

How to Track the Impact

To include interior planting in your ESG reporting:

• Document the scope of your plant installations—species, placement, and supplier credentials.
• Measure environmental gains (e.g., reduced HVAC usage, lower CO₂ levels).
• Track employee well-being metrics like satisfaction surveys and retention data.
