The world we live in is a lovely place and we want to keep it that way, that’s why we are working hard to minimise our environmental impact. We know we’re not quite there yet and we are always continuing to review our efforts. 

Sustainable furniture comes down to the materials used, how the items are manufactured and how they are transported and delivered. For example, flat packed sofas can help reduce your carbon footprint because we can fit and transport many more units in a truck than a fixed-frame equivalent, reducing the carbon footprint per unit. It’s also easier for us to replace any broken or damaged parts individually, rather than the whole sofa which can be wasteful. 

When an item is sustainable it typically means the materials have been previously recycled and have been given a new life as furniture, or materials that are renewable and can be regrown easily. Here’s three ways we are making an impact today and working towards sustainability:

Ecologi

We’ve teamed up with Ecologi, whose aim is to make tackling the climate crisis accessible to the likes of you and me. They want to help change the course of climate change by promoting sustainable solutions that will give back to the environment. Ecologi provides a platform for those who are empowered to do change. They also believes it’s important to be transparent with their investments, so you can see a paper trail of the impact they are making. They have online receipts, reports, revenue dashboard and certificates which are available to everyone.
