With COP26 complete and some positive action on climate change agreed, Banner is delighted to announce a commitment to Net Zero by 2030!

This aggressive and challenging target is supported by detailed opportunity planning and a huge collaborative effort across our estate of operations. Working with an extensive supply and customer base will mean changes to buyer behaviour and strategic decision making, but the outcome will lead to a significantly reduced carbon footprint for Banner and our stakeholders.

During International Fraud Awareness Week, it is important to think about the need for the right tools and solutions to ensure that data is kept secure and safe in accordance with GDPR. It is imperative that customer and colleague details are protected and kept secure.

The seriousness of the global fraud problem is why many organisations are participating in International Fraud Awareness Week, to promote anti-fraud awareness and education. The movement, known commonly as Fraud Week, champions the need to proactively fight fraud and help safeguard business and investments from the growing fraud problem.

Hybrid working has been around for a while, but with the UK continuing to emerge from national lockdown, more and more businesses are making the switch to a more flexible style of working.

Finding the right hybrid working model for your business is going to be crucial going forward to deliver both value to employers and employees, however this doesn't come without its own set of challenges. Ensuring you have the right kind of products will be vital to assist you with your change from a home-based working style to one which incorporates office working too.

What is workspace satisfaction?

When something just does exactly what it’s supposed to do, perfectly. When it looks right, sounds right, feels right and works right. When the aesthetics, acoustics and functionality are rewarding in themselves. When you can’t quite explain it, but you know it feels good. 

In today’s new hybrid normal, business machines and solutions for workplace wellness and organisation have become even more important than ever. You can easily ensure that you can create a workspace setting which allows employees and colleagues to thrive whilst working in comfort.
