24/7 online Service Hub

To support the working environment of the Members of the European Parliament - be it a small internal move, purchase of new furniture item or the repair or maintenance of a piece of furniture - we have implemented our 24/7 online Service Hub. All the furniture was RFID tagged for the annual furniture audits.

Sustainability

Our project started with the take-back of 11816 old furniture pieces from three buildings of the European Parliament, which Haworth assessed for reuse, resale, recycling or donation. Recognising that the future of the communities depends on education, the European Parliament and Haworth chose to donate the best furniture to six schools in Kisumu (Kenya).
