Green Lab Design Studio is a full service, environmentally friendly event and design agency that prides itself on providing services customized to meet their client’s needs. They offer a unique service by bringing the aesthetic of interior design to the event industry while incorporating eco-conscious choices throughout the fabrication and production process. They use the latest materials and processes to ensure their clients get the most cutting edge, eco-friendly event and/or product available.
The values advanced by B Lab and B Corporations are ones that are important to us and also to our stakeholders. By becoming a B Corporation, we are better able to broadcast our commitment to those values and hopefully set an example of social and environmental responsibility in our community.
Sustainable events not only preserve and restore natural resources, but they also add value to the economy, and educate those in attendance about the benefits of being environmentally friendly. With these same aspirations, Green Lab Design Studio creates events that provide its clients a platform to not only promote and position their brand or economy, but to voice their own environmental habits and concerns to a much larger audience.
The Change We Seek®
We work directly with PR agencies, marketing directors and corporations to develop a consumer and brand interaction that educates customers that being green can be fashionable and without sacrifice. Our clients expect exceptional service and design while understanding that their brand is contributing to a better environment.
Our office currently donates a percentage of profits to numerous non-profit organizations for the betterment of the environment. In addition, we have donated extensive hours of office, design and production time to charity driven events to raise funds for environmental causes and awareness.
• Cleaning of each event is done using the latest in certified organic cleaning supplies.
• Building of event space is done using energy efficient and renewable “green construction”.
