/ About us / More about us
Because we control the entire production process, we can minimize the negative impact of our activities on the environment.
We pursue development in which the needs of the present generation are met without compromising the chances of future generations to use the same resources. We focus on high quality, responsibility for projects and such a product life cycle that it can be used as long as possible.
We must change our path if we want to land elsewhere. It is no secret that climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. And we are determined to be part of the solution.
For the first time, our strategy for 2022-2025 includes ecological and financial goals.
We want to minimize our impact on the environment and our entire organization will focus on sustainable development. We have great ambitions and need qualified partners to succeed.
We have created 10 concrete areas that we want to work with.
100% SUSTAINABLE CERTIFIED TIMBER
Forests should be for all future generations. By committing to using 100% sustainable, certified wood, we help promote responsible forestry. This means that the wood comes either from sustainable forests or other responsible sources.
RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING
The packaging material is important. We must ensure that our furniture is well protected during transport. However, we believe that we can reduce our environmental impact through responsible packaging. This means we will minimize the use of packaging materials and still protect our furniture.
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING
We need to start thinking about sustainability in our design and production. Sometimes the only way to start thinking differently is to set the bar high and keep learning. We recognize that there is no such thing as a 100% sustainable product, but we must make it as sustainable as possible.
REDUCING CO2 FROM YOUR OWN ACTIVITY
We want to reduce our impact on the environment. One of the most effective ways to reduce our carbon footprint is to look at our own actions. In line with the international standard, we will start by monitoring carbon emissions from our own operations and then implement initiatives to halve CO2 emissions by 2025.
CARBON FOOTPRINT THROUGHOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN
To make an impact, our entire organization must exhibit authentic and holistic behavior. Therefore, we realize that CO2 is not only related to our direct operations, but extends to our supply chain. That is why we want to encourage all stakeholders of the PLATAN ROOM supply chain to act responsibly.
RECYCLING
Waste is an inevitable part of all operations, and recycling it just makes sense. Therefore, our goal is to ensure that we process more waste from our production internally, and waste that we do not reuse internally must be recycled for new purposes externally, i.e. to create new products.
LOADING OPTIMIZATION
Our products need to travel from A to B. Empty shipping has a big environmental impact and we've worked over the years to optimize freight to minimize empty space. Now we will focus on rethinking our packaging so that we can load more products into each car, thereby saving CO2.
