For more than six decades, Valiant has been at the forefront of innovation - from becoming the country’s first office furniture hire company to pioneering paperless operations and offering 100% carbon-offset furniture hire.
Now, we’re proud to announce two major milestones that reaffirm our commitment to using business as a force for good: becoming a Certified B Corporation and launching Australia’s first Carbon Calculator for event furniture hire.
These achievements reflect our deep belief that meaningful change begins with transparency, accountability, and action — and we’re proud to lead the way.
"We’ve always believed that business should be more than just transactional — it should be transformational. Becoming B Corp Certified and launching the Carbon Calculator are powerful steps toward a more responsible, more transparent future."
— Brian Lindeman, Managing Director
Becoming a Certified B Corporation
Becoming a Certified B Corporation means that we are recognised globally amongst companies that meet high, verified standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. The rigorous assessment process reviews everything from stakeholder governance to how we care for our team and reduce our environmental footprint.
With only around 3% of companies who apply successfully achieving certification, this milestone is a powerful endorsement of Valiant’s long-term commitment to purpose-driven business practices.
We’re honoured to join a global movement of businesses committed to balancing purpose with profit and proud to play our part in building a more equitable and sustainable economy.
Introducing the Carbon Calculator: Measure What Matters
As part of our broader sustainability journey, we’ve also launched a tool that we believe will transform how our clients approach furniture hire for events and are proud to introduce our Carbon Calculator.
Every piece of furniture has a carbon footprint and for the first time in Australia, you can now track, measure, and offset it.
The Carbon Calculator is a certified tool that calculates the total carbon emissions associated with your order, across three key stages:

- Manufacturing: emissions generated from the moment each piece is made.
- Port to Warehouse: transport from local and international suppliers to our facilities in Australia.
- Delivery & Collection: our trucks delivering to your site and returning post-event
Through our partnership with Trace, these emissions are automatically offset via accredited climate initiatives, both locally and globally.
Every order comes with a Certificate of Impact, providing real, actionable data for clients looking to meet ESG targets, support sustainability reporting, or simply take ownership of their environmental footprint.
