Koba

2022-5 - 2025-3 · 2 yrs 11 mos

We’re on an evidence-based mission to demonstrate that workspace can be beautiful, functional, healthier for ourselves and less damaging to the planet. Why evidence-based? Because if someone is going to use 'sustainable' in any way to describe what they're selling to you the onus should be on them to prove it. For example, you probably didn't know that fit out is responsible for around 40% of an office building's entire carbon footprint. It's the industry's nasty carbon secret and we're tackling it head on by leading the charge on circularity. We’re also driven by a belief that your companies are made up of people with deep skillsets and an increasing desire to leave a positive imprint. Where we can help that happen, we will. But above all our promise is that Koba will be a wonderful place to work, whether you’re a team of two or two hundred.
