with Purpose

From 2018 to 2019, we comprehensively assess suppliers in critical categories, forming a preferred supplier list. We integrate "Hire Spec" to educate suppliers on challenges and requirements while also identifying preferred materials to enhance product performance.

In 2019-2020, we assessed shipping options for cost-effective distribution and risk management, enhanced efficiency in international sea freight through consolidation, shifted to sustainably certified timber from responsibly managed sources, and mapped critical areas for enhanced supply chain transparency in fabric and powder coating.

Off the back of COVID-19 lockdowns, we focused on supply chain adaptation by fostering strong relationships with overseas suppliers. Simultaneously, we introduced a Preferred Packaging Plan aimed at minimising excess packaging and emphasising preferred packaging materials such as covers and recycled cardboard.

We've taken significant steps towards sustainability CO2 emissions from international freight, extend preferred material lists, implement recycled content in 15 ranges (over 3600 items), and set targets for key materiality areas like recycled content, chemical management, and social impact.

Through ongoing efforts in material substitutions, we continue to prioritize preferred components and materials, driving progress towards sustainability. Additionally, we engage in circular collaboration initiatives, such as exploring opportunities to repurpose sofa legs with a local social enterprise, fostering a seamless integration of sustainability throughout our processes.

We embarked on a comprehensive sustainability initiative in furniture production, transitioning most indoor ranges to upholstery made from 100% recycled plastic bottles and ensuring compliance with REACH and OEKO TEX standards. Additionally, efforts include sourcing FSC-certified hardwood, prioritizing reusable furniture covers, and introducing recycled nylon furniture feet, all reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation.

Our goal is to expand the use of recycled fabrics into our outdoor collections and explore sustainable alternatives to Polyurethane foam and other materials. We aim to develop a preferred list of eco-friendly materials for our furniture and reduce shrink wrap usage by a specified percentage, while also extending FSC timber certification to product-based composite wood and investigating alternatives to PFAS treatments in fabrics through comparative analysis.
