Sustainability

Sustainability is Part of Everything we do

We work with manufacturers who meet recognised environmental standards, allowing us to specify furniture that supports both project requirements and sustainability criteria. Our role is to guide clients towards informed choices through careful product and supplier selection.

We also consider product lifespan, material use, and opportunities for reuse — helping reduce waste and limit unnecessary replacement across the lifecycle of a project.

Our Specification Approach

Sustainability is considered as part of the specification process, not added on afterwards. We assess products based on how they are made, the materials used, and how they will perform over time within the space.

This includes looking at durability, material composition, and finishes, alongside practical factors such as cost and programme. The aim is to specify furniture that is fit for purpose, avoids unnecessary replacement, and meets both project and sustainability requirements.

Our Supply Chain

We work with manufacturers who meet recognised environmental and quality standards, ensuring the furniture we specify meets both project and sustainability requirements.

Certified Products

We specify furniture using responsibly sourced materials, including FSC® and PEFC certified timber and wood-based products. This ensures materials are sourced through managed supply chains with clear environmental standards in place.

Accredited Manufacturers

Our supply chain includes manufacturers operating to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards. These accreditations demonstrate consistent quality control and a structured approach to environmental management.

Material Standards

We consider material composition as part of the specification process, including low VOC finishes and responsibly sourced components. This supports healthier internal environments and more considered material use.

Transparent Supply Chain

We work with suppliers who provide clear environmental information, including policies, certifications, and product data. This allows us to support clients with sustainability requirements and reporting where needed.

Reuse & Circularity

Where possible, we look at opportunities to retain and reuse existing furniture as part of a project. This can include reconfiguration, refurbishment, or reupholstery, depending on the condition and suitability of the items.

By considering reuse early in the process, we help reduce waste and limit the need for new products where they aren’t required. Where reuse isn’t viable, we can support responsible removal, including recycling or resale through appropriate channels.

Supporting Client Requirements

We regularly work on projects with defined sustainability criteria and understand the requirements involved.
This includes supporting clients working towards standards such as BREEAM and WELL, where furniture specification can contribute to wider project objectives.
We work alongside the wider project team to ensure the selected products meet the necessary criteria without impacting the overall delivery of the project.

Our Working Approach

Our role is to keep the process clear and manageable.

We provide straightforward guidance on sustainable options, helping clients make informed decisions without adding unnecessary complexity. This means balancing environmental considerations with cost, programme, and the practical requirements of the space.
