Furnished Quarters Awarded Bronze Sustainability Rating By EcoVadis

Copy: (New York, NY) June 25, 2024 – Furnished Quarters, the largest independently owned and operated provider of global temporary housing is proud to announce they have been awarded the Bronze Sustainability Rating by EcoVadis. EcoVadis is the top globally trusted provider of business sustainability ratings and evaluations with a network of more than 130,000 rated companies. EcoVadis provides sustainability ratings ranging from Bronze to Platinum based upon their patented methodology. Each participating company receives a rating and a Sustainability Scorecard broken outlining key categories such as Environment, Labor and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.

For Furnished Quarters, receiving the Bronze Sustainability Rating directly reflects their company’s values and dedication to integrate sustainable, environmentally conscious efforts within all company policies and practices. Recent initiatives that directly contributed to the Bronze rating include but are not limited to, prioritizing partnering with other eco-friendly companies, reducing waste by transitioning to digital in-unit collateral and digital lease signing, upgrading in-unit inclusion with recyclable materials such as bamboo, requiring employees to train a certain number of hours on topics such as ethics and diversity, and focusing on acquiring inventory within LEED-Certified buildings worldwide.

By applying these initiatives and receiving the Bronze Sustainability Rating, Furnished Quarters has now become an environmental leader within the corporate housing industry and has positioned them within the 80th percentile (top 20%) of all companies assessed by EcoVadis this year from all industries across the globe.

“Receiving the Bronze Sustainability Rating has been a concerted effort from every department of Furnished Quarters and took years of planning and fore thought to achieve. Our goal was to make Furnished Quarters not only an industry leader for our premier short-term furnished housing but also a leader for our commitment to the environment and sustainability practices.

We want all guests and partners to know that “stay different”  means that they can also “stay sustainable and responsible” when choosing Furnished Quarters. We will continue to look for even more opportunities to improve our environmental impact, carbon footprint, and look forward to a bright future ahead,” said Steve Brown, CEO and co-founder of Furnished Quarters.
