Sustainability is more than a destination. It’s a journey of continual improvement.
Sustainability is built into everything we do.
We’re always looking for ways to improve our processes, and striving to find better solutions in all that we do. Because what good is making things if we’re not trying to do better for the planet?
To achieve this, we’re proud to partner with like-minded, accredited companies, who have membership with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and have third party environmentally certified products, such as Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA). Suppliers with environmental management systems that, like us, meet ISO 14001. Organisations who prioritise the wellbeing of both people and the environment.
A philosophy of responsible product stewardship.
We recognise that our responsibility doesn’t end when our products leave the warehouse. We’ve been implementing product stewardship programs for over 30 years. Guided by circular design principles, our systems and products are created with end-of-life in mind.
From material and recyclability considerations, to assembly methods, and our furniture takeback service, we implement initiatives that ensure environmental responsibility throughout our supply chain.
This quest for sustainability fuels sharper thinking and helps us design and source better products across their entire lifespan.
