We are actively measuring and reducing our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, working towards validation by the Science Based Targets initiative and pledging to attain Net Zero by 2040.
Reaching Net Zero starts with our own operations. We measure emissions across our offices, showrooms and logistics, switching to renewable energy, cutting waste and working with our manufacturing partners to bring down the carbon embedded in the products we supply.
Alongside the environmental work, we invest in our people through fair employment, development and wellbeing, and in the communities around our sites through fundraising and local partnerships. Progress is measured, reported and independently verified, so our commitments are evidenced rather than assumed.
01Environment
We work to reduce the environmental impact of everything we do, from our own operations to the furniture we supply, helping clients make choices that lower carbon and keep materials in use for longer.
02Community
We support the communities around our offices through charity fundraising, environmental initiatives and investment in young people. Recent projects include helping build Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice and taking part in Sleep in the Park for homelessness charities.
03People
We take responsibility for the people behind our products, working with suppliers to uphold fair working conditions and meet the requirements of the Modern Slavery Act across our supply chain.
A zero-to-landfill philosophy, operationalised.
EcoClear is our group’s specialist clearance and recovery division, set up to deal with what happens to furniture at the end of their life. Rather than send commercial waste to landfill, EcoClear routes it through a four-tier system: reselling and redistributing what can be reused, donating to charities, recycling raw materials, and recovering energy only where nothing else is possible. The result supports clients on their own route to Net Zero and delivers measurable reductions in environmental impact on every project.
Design for Reuse
Design for Reuse brings existing furniture into the brief from the outset. Before anything new is specified, we audit what a client already owns and find what can be refurbished, reconfigured or redeployed into the new space, so good furniture keeps working rather than being replaced. Where new furniture is needed, we specify for the next life as well as this one, prioritising modular designs that are easy to disassemble and reconfigure, and materials chosen for their recyclability and recycled content.
Carbon Calculator
Our Carbon Calculator records the environmental impact of every project at item level, from what’s reused and refurbished to what’s newly specified. It gives clients an auditable account of carbon and waste at each stage, ready to feed straight into ESG disclosures and accreditation submissions. The decisions we make together are evidenced, not assumed.
