Better for People. Better for the Planet.
At Yo-Yo WORKS, we believe the future of work should support both people and the planet. That’s why every
product we design is guided by three core commitments: globally recognised sustainability standards, full life-cycle responsibility, and a
circular design philosophy.
Sustainably & BREEAM Commitments

Our British-made desktops use responsibly sourced timber and high-quality materials, combining long-lasting durability with a reduced environmental impact. Local manufacturing also helps minimise transport emissions while supporting a more sustainable supply chain.
Our products are also designed to help you achieve or improve BREEAM ratings. By focusing on circular economy principles, recycled content, and responsible manufacturing, we can contribute towards BREEAM credits in areas such as:
