That sustainability word.
It is one of the core coworking values. In a recent Coworking Values Podcast with Dina Sierralta, we discussed how the German Coworking Federation has adopted the 'sustainability' word and value for the year.
Sustainability goes beyond crowd-pleasing, marketing gimmicks, and B-Corp green talk.
Sustainability has many facets, and here are three straightforward ways to approach it; all of them are important.
1. 🌍 Going Green:
It's not just about slapping some green paint on the walls and calling it a day.
We're talking about severe eco-friendly action here.
You know - climate change and all that.
We're on it with recycling, energy efficiency, and everything that makes our spaces not just places to work but places that work for the planet.
2. 💰 Does the Math Work?
Here's the real talk—economic sustainability.
Is your business model solid?
Can you keep those doors open forever and ever?
It's about ensuring we're not just scraping by but thriving.
Can we still be here, making a profit, in a year?
3. 🧘♂️ Member Well-being:
Let's not forget the backbone of our spaces—the community.
Are you building a place where people feel good and want to stick around?
You know it's easier to keep a member than to keep finding new ones.
