How EFG works with sustainability

EFG offers products that are sustainably and responsibly produced on the basis of quality, environmental and social conditions. We ensure that our products are tested to fulfil quality standards and that production takes the environment into account. And last but absolutely not least, we make sure that the people manufacturing the furniture work under fair conditions. As part of this, a great deal of EFG’s range is certified with Möbelfakta, and our goal is for as many products as possible to bear this mark.

When we design new products, we use as little material as possible without having to compromise on quality or function. Our goal is to move from linear to circular production with responsible recycling and reuse of products. Our production is certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Our sustainable design process follows Nordic Ecolabel guidelines.

To promote sustainable exploitation of ecosystems and stop the loss of biological diversity, we use sustainable and recycled materials and water-based paints, and we pack and transport our products efficiently. Since 2013, we have reduced our CO2 emissions from outbound transport by 17%. From May 2019, we will be saving an annual 8.53 tonnes, or 35%, of plastic through improved packaging methods.

80 % of our fabrics are ecolabelled according to EU Ecolabel or Oeko-Tex.

90 % of the wood we use is FSC® labelled

We use FSC® certified wood in more than 90% of our products. EFG’s FSC licence number is FSC-C009111. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) strives to achieve responsible use of the world’s forests, with a goal of developing forestry methods that best take account of the environment and social conditions. For example, FSC protects threatened species and supports the rights of workers and indigenous peoples.
