Mundo-Lab has been driven by strong social values and a commitment to sustainability since its creation in 2008.

These values ​​are detailed in the ‘Quintessentials’ – the fundamental principles that apply to all companies in the Ethical Property family.

History

Mission

Mundo-Lab offers sustainable, accessible and shared real estate facilities and services to non-profit organisations and social sector businesses.

Eco-designed and eco-managed offices

Social and environmental responsibility is a key concept at the Mundo centres. Mundo-Lab acquires properties and land with a view to converting them into environmentally friendly office centres.

Mundo’s buildings are renovated or built using a sustainable and circular approach that aims to reduce their environmental impact. This vision is achieved in various ways:

  • through a careful choice of materials, with an emphasis on natural, local or quality-labelled materials and materials that have been recycled;
  • by optimising energy efficiency;
  • through careful water management;
  • by minimising waste;
  • by encouraging biodiversity in outdoor spaces;
  • and by encouraging sustainable mobility.

In addition, Mundo-Lab carefully selects its partners and subcontractors, favouring projects for social reintegration through employment and organisations promoting the social economy.

By and for changemakers

Mundo-Lab aims to strengthen the social change sector by supporting organisations and individuals who make a significant contribution to sustainable development and the creation of a fairer, more equitable society.

  • Non-profit organisations
  • Social economy enterprises
  • Civil society actors

Services

Mundo-Lab offers comfortable private offices, coworking spaces and professional meeting rooms at affordable prices.

Mundo-Lab’s equipment and services are shared among its members and designed to meet their needs. Each centre includes a cafeteria, a conference room, numerous meeting rooms and, where possible, outdoor space.

Creating a positive ecosystem

Mundo-Lab hosts a network of more than 230 organisations at its centres. Its 2,200 members form a stimulating and positive work community, where interaction promotes new perspectives and synergies.
