WHAT IS CRADLE TO CRADLE (C2C)?
Cradle to Cradle (C2C) is a holistic approach to sustainable design that focuses on the continuous reuse of healthy materials in a circular economy. By using these materials it creates a positive impact for people and planet and ensures raw waste materials are repurposed and transformed into valuable resources.
By creating healthy and inspiring spaces that prioritise good quality air, light, and acoustics, C2C improves employee health, motivation, and wellbeing.
C2C is viewed as an economic principle where we can achieve optimal investment and operating costs since aspects like residual value, energy costs, increasing the productivity of organisations, reducing absenteeism, image improvement are related to qualitative investments.
At Veldhoen + Company, we integrate C2C principles with Activity Based Working (ABW) to reimagine optimised and effective workplaces with a positive impact. The New Way of Working recognises the interplay between physical space, behaviour , health and wellbeing. By aligning people, sustainability and spatial efficiency we unlock a new level of quality and economic viability for modern workplaces.
We're excited to have Michel join us full-time from January as we continue to create sustainable, people-centric working environments that leave a lasting positive impact.
