Repurposing with purpose: prioritising sustainability in our Edinburgh office move

After more than 15 years in our Edinburgh office, we've closed the doors on a space where teams were built, milestones were celebrated and countless memories were made.  

As we prepare for our move, we're making sure it has a positive impact—integrating sustainability into every step of the process. Our goal was to minimise waste going to landfill and to support the local community. So, we linked up with several of our Hymans Robertson Foundation charity partners, along with other charities chosen by our Edinburgh colleagues, to ensure that our well-used office furniture and fittings were repurposed and given a second life. From desks and chairs to meeting furniture, storage units and kitchen essentials, we wanted to ensure these resources would continue to be put to good use in service of others.

Thanks to the hard work of our facilities team and the support of our CSR team, we were able to support seven great local charities:

Pilton Youth & Children’s Project
Barnardo's
FARE Scotland
The King's Trust
Foursquare 
Fresh Start 
Scottish Youth Parliament

We’re proud to have taken meaningful steps to reduce our environmental footprint while supporting causes that make a lasting, positive impact on people and communities.

Already, Foursquare have let us know that our donations helped keep more than 3,000kg tonnes from landfill and saved over 1,000kg of CO2 emissions in the process.
