Sustainability Priorities
How we are helping create a Greener World
At Contemporary Office Interiors, we believe sustainability is not a choice — it’s a responsibility. For decades, we’ve partnered with manufacturers and clients who share our commitment to reducing environmental impact across the furniture lifecycle. From thoughtful procurement to product reuse and recycling, we continually invest in systems and services that prioritize environmental integrity.
Supporting Sustainable Operations: Our Eco Fee
To maintain and enhance our environmental efforts, COI applies a modest Eco Fee of 1.4% to all applicable orders. This fee supports the rising costs associated with sustainable business operations, including, but not limited to:
- Coordinating responsible furniture decommissioning and donation
- Diverting packaging, plastics, metals, and compostable materials from landfills
- Managing fuel and energy costs associated with our electric delivery fleet and recycling operations
Planting tees through Veritree to offset the carbon footprint of doing business
The Eco Fee is not a government tax or remittance. Instead, it reflects our transparent approach to managing the operational realities of sustainable service delivery. It allows us to avoid broad pricing increases while directly funding the programs that reduce our environmental footprint.
Impact Through Action
Across our national footprint, COI is committed to tracking, reporting, and reducing waste wherever possible. Our teams regularly support product take-back programs, decommissioning services, and landfill diversion initiatives—ensuring usable furniture finds second life whenever possible.
We’re proud to partner with clients who value responsible business practices. Your support enables us to continue offering solutions that are as sustainable as they are strategic.
