RAW MATERIALS EXTRACTION FROM SUSTAINABLE RESOURCES:

 FOREST – WHY WE CARE

• Our raw materials come only from sustainable origins.
• Wood is sourced using responsible extraction methods from legally harvested forests.
• No wild fauna or flora is used in our pieces.

FOREST -WHAT WE DO

• We work with suppliers who have timber products with License FLEGT (Forest Law Enforcement, Government and Trade), CITES License, thus complying with EC Regulation No. 338/97 and EC Regulation No. 865/2006.
• We require our suppliers to have FSC Certification, thereby ensuring that our products come from responsible sources.
• We require our suppliers to have the PEFC Certificate, thereby ensuring that our products originate only from sustainable farms and certified forests.
• We strive for no-paper projects, implementing actions that dramatically reduce the use of paper.

WATER – WHY WE CARE

• With water being a limited resource, subject to over-use, numerous pollutants, and a growing world population, its use in furniture and lighting design and production must be limited and responsible.
• We ration water throughout the production process.

WATER – WHAT WE DO

• We use equipment that reduces water consumption such as flow-reducing taps, pressure taps, flushing water conservation and other mechanisms.
• We maintain our internal water network (taps and pipes) in order to avoid water loss.

ENERGY- WHY WE CARE

• Reducing energy consumption reduces the consumption of natural resources
• Energy consumption directly impacts ecosystems.
• The misuse of compressed air and gas unnecessarily consumes and wastes energy.
• In order to achieve maximum efficiency with minimal energy consumption, producers need to be vigilant in monitoring for the existence of infrastructure leaks of air and gas.

ENERGY – WHAT WE DO

• We use clean energies, such as propane gas.

• We continually monitor our energy consumption, and strive to reduce our footprint wherever possible.
• We use photovoltaic panel systems for solar energy.
• We use LED lamps and schedule maintenance through lamp group replacements ensuring efficient lighting.
• We maintain a rigorous schedule to detect energy leaks in our air and gas infrastructure systems.
• Our air and gas infrastructure system has been designed to monitor for and detect pressure drops between compressors and gas reservoirs and energy  consumption points.

MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION:

AIR AND NOISE EMISSION – WHY WE CARE

• Fluorinated gases (CFH, PFC, and SF6) contribute to global warming
• Solvent chemical use negatively impacts human and environmental health.

AIR AND NOISE EMISSION -WHAT WE DO

• We strictly comply with the maintenance schedule for all cabin filters
• We never exceed regulated emission limits.
• We replace solvent-based paints and varnishes with water-based paints and varnishes.
• We do not use refrigeration equipment that contains harmful fluorinated gases.
• Our machinery and equipment is fully compliant with noise regulations.
• We ensure that activity in the factories does not disturb the quality of life in the surrounding community.
• Our facilities are located in low-impact geographical areas
• We invest in electric vehicles

TRANSPORTATION:

LOGISTICS – WHY WE CARE

• The daily movement of product burns fossil fuels and releases harmful gases into the atmosphere.

LOGISTICS – WHAT WE DO

• We strictly manage our supply chain in order to reduce our carbon footprint
• We repair products whenever necessary at local facilities in order to reduce wasteful transportation activity

UTILIZATION REUSE :

CUSTOMER IMPACT -WHY WE CARE

• The classification of reusable products and packing has a competitive and sustainable advantage over other products.

CUSTOMER IMPACT – WHAT WE DO

• We reduce the amount of plastic used in our packaging and replace it with fabric scrap

DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING:

WASTE: WHY WE CARE

• The treatment or elimination of excess waste reduces a negative ecological footprint.
• Efficient processes reduce the generation of waste.
• Contaminated waters result in significant costs in remediation.

WASTE: WHAT WE DO

• We track materials throughout their life cycles, monitoring and labeling parts for maximum reuse and recycling.
• We ensure strict compliance with all regulations relating to waste products.
• We recover and responsibly dispose of all solvents from cleaning machines, spray guns, and accessories
