PARTNERSHIP WITH SUSTAINABLE ORGANISATIONS
The company could partner with organizations that share its sustainability values, such as environmental non-profits or green certification programs. This would help to further promote its commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.
SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS
The company would place a strong emphasis on sustainability, highlighting the environmental benefits of repurposing office furniture. The business would be committed to reducing waste and preventing furniture from ending up in landfills.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
The company would thoroughly inspect and refurbish all furniture items before offering them for sale. This would ensure that customers receive high-quality, functional furniture that meets their needs.
AFFORDABLE PRICING
The company would offer competitive pricing for its repurposed furniture, making it a cost-effective alternative to new furniture. This would be particularly appealing to customers who are looking to save money on their office furniture purchases.
CUSTOMISATION SOLUTIONS
The company could offer customization services to tailor furniture to the specific needs of individual customers. For example, the company could offer custom reupholstery or refinishing services to give furniture a new look.
ONLINE PLATFORM
The company could leverage an online platform to reach customers & streamline the buying process. This would allow customers to easily browse available items, purchase furniture online, and arrange for delivery or pickup.

ACHIEVEMENTS
JOS Movement Is Proud To Announce It Has Diverted Over 500Kg Of Office Furniture From Landfills Since 2020!
A LITTLE BIT OF FORETHOUGHT CAN END A LOT OF WASTE.
We are in an industry that operates at an enormous scale, and therefore, we must have a plan in place for the furniture that we are purchasing, at the time of purchase (or soon thereafter). Specification and reuse of second-life contract furniture is the most powerful way to reduce carbon emissions in the contract office furniture industry. Not all furniture inventories are eligible for resale on the JOS Movement Marketplace, yet we are still interested in helping you find the right solution for donation or recycling responsibly.
