EFG and the environment
Climate changes caused by man are one of the greatest challenges of our age. EFG, European Furniture Group, recognises this and actively participates, on a voluntary basis, to help save our common environment.
There is a growing awareness that the products we buy have an affect upon the environment. More and more people actively choose the most eco-friendly alternative, provided that quality and function are guaranteed. At EFG we believe it is important that you have that option.
The environmental aspect is nothing new to us at EFG. We have worked on environmental issues for a long time, aiming to reduce our impact on the environment and increase awareness among our co-workers.
For even greater focus on environmental issues, we established the EFG Environment Group in 2007. The group meets several times a year to ensure that environmental work does not lose momentum. Just the opposite in fact – the group’s first task was a comprehensive assessment project leading to new, concrete measures.
As part of these new measures, we are in the process of formulating an eco-friendly model for product development. The goal is to examine the entire process focussing on the environmental influence, from the selection of raw materials and manufacture, to usage and recycling. We also believe that investing in projects for climate compensation can play a part in overall measures to achieve climate neutrality.
There is no project deadline for our environmental work; there is no finishing line to cross. We all have to work towards easing the environmental load on our planet.
