ECOVADIS - GOLD CERTIFICATION

We decided to put ourselves forward for assessment according to the comprehensive evaluation criteria of the international assessment platform EcoVadis - and were well rewarded for our efforts: the Gold CSR rating issued in January 2015 places us demonstrably among the top 7 percent of furniture manufacturers that are more active and responsible than the average in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

The objective of CSR is to harmonise economic, social and economic activities and to implement this sustainable concept throughout the entire company on a voluntary basis. CSR has already been firmly embedded in our company for many years, and is an integral component of our strategic direction. In order to make our activities transparent for our partners and customers, we put ourselves forward for assessment according to a total of 21 criteria in the fields of environment, social, ethical and supply chain determined by the international CSR platform.

We are proud of the fact that in January 2015 - at the first attempt - we achieved the highest EcoVadis certification - the GOLD CSR rating. This award demonstrates the high importance we place on CSR compared with other furniture manufacturers in international competition. We achieved a total of 68 evaluation points, placing us significantly above the average of 41.1, and placing us in the top 7 percent of furniture manufacturers, and in the top 2 percent of companies assessed by EcoVadis in all categories.

With us, sustainable business management goes hand in hand with social, ecological and economic responsibility. To achieve this, we focus our strengths and combine far-sighted company management with practical sustainability, the best product design, and precision in engineering. "Responsibility for our staff and for the environment and sustainability within the production process have always been part of our company philosophy, and they are fundamental to our activities. When we develop products, our principal objectives are long-term value, compliance with limit values, reduction of energy and the use of recyclable materials. A good product can only be created in a good way. Our products are in the best sense of the word efficient, ecological, economic, and also ergonomic. Our passion for professional ‘German engineering’ is reflected in intelligent technology and quality." (Helmut and Joachim Link, Managing Directors)
