Living in London comes with undeniable perks: vibrant culture, buzzing neighbourhoods, and a connection to the heart of Britain. But in a bustling city, the environmental impact becomes undeniable. At OneBlock, we believe living well shouldn’t cost the Earth. That’s why we’re pioneering eco-friendly block management, helping London blocks embrace sustainability and build a greener future for residents and the planet.

Beyond Greenwashing: Making Every Action Count

Our commitment to the environment isn’t a mere marketing tactic; it’s woven into the very fabric of our operations. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

• Green Procurement: We prioritise using eco-friendly cleaning products, recycled materials for maintenance tasks, and energy-efficient appliances in communal spaces. Did you know switching to LED lighting alone can reduce lighting energy consumption by up to 80%? (Source: https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/led-lighting)
• Waste Reduction and Recycling: We implement efficient waste management systems in blocks, encouraging residents to recycle and compost. Studies show that proper waste management can divert over 50% of waste from landfills. (Source: https://waste-management-world.com/artikel/eu-commission-70-recycling-by-2030-landfill-bans-by/)
• Embracing Renewable Energy: Where feasible, we explore implementing renewable energy sources like solar panels on rooftops or energy-efficient heating systems. Businesses like The Eden Project in Cornwall have successfully reduced their carbon footprint by over 50% through solar power, proving its viability.

• Green-Conscious Partnerships: We collaborate with like-minded companies that share our environmental values. We partner with local recycling facilities, eco-friendly cleaning product suppliers, and sustainable maintenance providers to amplify our impact.
• Engaging Residents in the Journey: Building a greener future requires collective action. Research shows that community gardens and green spaces in urban areas can improve air quality by up to 25%.

OneBlock: A Catalyst for Change

By implementing these initiatives, OneBlock is making a tangible difference in London’s environmental landscape. We’re helping blocks reduce their carbon footprint, conserve resources, and create a more sustainable living environment for residents. And the benefits extend beyond the environment:

• Cost Savings: Eco-friendly practices often translate to cost savings through reduced energy consumption and waste disposal fees. A study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that installing solar panels can save businesses an average of £11,000 per year.

• Increased Resident Satisfaction: Living in a sustainable block fosters a sense of community and shared responsibility, leading to happier and more engaged residents. A survey by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development found that 88% of consumers are willing to pay more for products and services from companies committed to sustainability.
