Optimizing Business Organization with Proper Filing

Julie Starr • June 29, 2021



Storing your documents correctly is important if you are to have an organized and efficient office space. This is why it is imperative to choose filing cabinets with care. What is right for someone else’s business may not be right for your company. You need to carefully consider what type of files you are going to be storing and how much space you have available, and this should lead you to the right type of cabinet for your needs. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Plan ahead 

Don’t just consider your needs now, but think about the future. After all, your filing needs may be more substantial in a year’s time, making it important to select a filing cabinet that offers room for expansion.

Type of cabinet 

One of the main decisions you need to make is whether to opt for a lateral file cabinet or a vertical file cabinet. The former is the wider of the two. Lateral filing cabinets are built for high-volume capacity. They have anything from two to five drawers, which can hold legal or letter-size documents. They can be placed in areas that vertical filing cabinets cannot, as they require less space for drawer expansion. If you have a narrow office or a hallway area, a lateral cabinet would be ideal. 

On the other hand, you may want to go with a vertical filing cabinet, which is the most popular option. They don’t use a lot of wall space, as they are taller than they are wide. They also hold legal and letter-size documents and have anything from two to five drawers. Such filing cabinets demand an office with a lot of walking space, however, their compactness makes them ideal for long-term storage.

Mobility

Are you intending to use a set of files a lot? Do they need to be moved around the office space ? If so, you may want to consider a mobile filing cart. They tend to be no wider than 15 inches, and no higher than 30 inches. They are handy and can be tucked under a desk or table when no one is using them.

Safeguarding your documents

When storing confidential files , it is important to take their protection into consideration. Search for filing cabinets that have a central locking feature, which means the same mechanism is used to secure all of the drawers so that one key is used for all. You may also want to think about a fireproof cabinet.

Safety features

Opting for a poor-quality cabinet can actually end up dangerous. Look for something that has an anti-tip feature, as this will stop more than one drawer in the filing cabinet from opening at the same time.

Material

Last but not least, the material that has been used to construct the filing cabinet is vital, as it has a direct link with quality, durability, and construction. Wood is good for small work offices and home offices when there is not a lot of use. However, steel is the preferred choice in bigger offices, as it can withstand a lot of use and is extremely durable.

What You Call It vs. What You Do: Communicating Impact Beyond ESG Labels

By Julie Starr • May 5, 2025
As the world continues to prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, a new technological movement is quietly reshaping how companies communicate their sustainability efforts: Web3. Web3—the next evolution of the internet built on decentralized technologies like blockchain—offers powerful new tools for ESG storytelling. At Taiga Company, we believe Web3 represents a transformational opportunity to enhance digital transparency, expand decentralized sustainability initiatives, and bring fresh credibility to corporate ESG communications. Web3 Unlocks Digital Transparency for ESG In an era where stakeholders expect greater accountability, Web3 provides an immutable, verifiable way to share ESG metrics. Blockchain technology enables companies to record sustainability data—such as carbon tracking, water usage, or supply chain emissions—directly on decentralized ledgers. This creates a new level of digital transparency that can bolster trust with investors, customers, and regulators. At Taiga Company, we help businesses translate these complex technical capabilities into clear, accessible communications. Our services bridge the gap between advanced Web3 solutions and everyday ESG storytelling , making decentralized reporting meaningful to broader audiences. Decentralized Sustainability and Regenerative Finance (ReFi) Beyond transparency, Web3 is giving rise to decentralized sustainability models. Projects in regenerative finance (ReFi) are using blockchain tools to incentivize environmental restoration, carbon sequestration, and climate-positive activities. These initiatives align with emerging ESG expectations that go beyond ‘do no harm’ and focus on regenerative impact. We work with companies to integrate these new paradigms into their sustainability narratives—highlighting how innovative approaches like ReFi contribute to broader environmental goals, align with ESG criteria, and showcase leadership in a rapidly changing landscape. A New Era for ESG Storytelling Traditional ESG reports often feel static, data-heavy, and disconnected from stakeholders. Web3 offers a dynamic, participatory model where audiences can engage with real-time sustainability data, track progress directly, and even contribute to decentralized initiatives. Our services specialize in creating communications that reflect this evolution. By combining our expertise in sustainability strategy with a growing understanding of Web3 trends, we help organizations: Translate decentralized sustainability efforts into compelling, credible stories Align carbon tracking and digital transparency initiatives with stakeholder expectations Position ESG leadership within the emerging Web3 economy The Path Forward Web3 won't replace traditional ESG frameworks, but it will significantly enhance them. Companies that start integrating decentralized transparency, carbon tracking, and regenerative finance into their sustainability communications today will be better positioned for tomorrow's expectations.  Ready to evolve your ESG communications for the Web3 era? Let's connect.
