At Avila Spaces, we believe that the future of work should be more human, more sustainable, and more collaborative. That’s why we integrate ESG principles into everything we do, creating spaces that promote well-being, reduce environmental impact, and generate value for the community. Our commitment goes beyond workspaces: we want to contribute to a future where companies, people, and society grow together.
We’re counting on you on this journey!
Our Sustainability Report presents the initiatives, practices, and results that reflect this commitment, highlighting how we integrate ESG practices into our strategy and daily operations. Throughout this report, we share the measures we have implemented.

We have installed energy-efficient lighting (LED), heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in all workspaces.
Motion sensors and timers are used to manage lighting and HVAC systems efficiently in unoccupied spaces, optimizing energy consumption.
We supply glass bottles andoffer dishes such as cups, mugs, plates, and utensils as an alternative to plastic usage.
All of our three spaces arelocated in strategic areas of Lisbon – connected with public transportation, facilitating access without the need for personal vehicles.
We provide free bicycle parking in all locations for our entire community, and also offer showers at the Republica and Pq. das Nações facilities for those arriving on foot or by bicycle.
Encourage recycling practices by providing recycling bins for paper, plastic, organic and glass materials.
Our flexible office spaces accommodate high-quality furnishings that are continuously reused and repurposed across our three spaces.
Our coworking space has effective ventilation to reduce indoor air pollutants, with routine air quality checks and HVAC maintenance.
