CONSIDER THESE QUESTIONS
Q WHERE DOES THE WOOD COME FROM THAT WAS USED IN THIS FURNITURE?
Q DOES THIS MANUFACTURER HAVE AN ENERGY USE REDUCTION PLAN?
The most important consideration in wood procurement is to ensure that the wood
was legally harvested from responsibly managed forests.
The production of electricity is the single largest contributor to CO2 emissions worldwide.
Companies with an energy use reduction plan are a significant part of the solution.
Q IS THE WOOD THIRD-PARTY CERTIFIED?
Q WHERE WAS THIS FURNITURE MANUFACTURED?
Look for legitimate third-party certifications that have high standards and the
ability to monitor performance. Some examples include Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC) and in North America, Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).
Transportation is the second major contributor to CO2 emissions. Look for furniture that was
produced closest to where you live and uses raw materials sourced within a 500 mile radius of
their manufacturing facilities. Buying local will cut emissions and support local economies.
Q DOES THIS MANUFACTURER HAVE A SOCIAL EQUITY CODE OF CONDUCT FOR THEIR
PRODUCTION PROCESSES?
Q WERE PAINTS OR FINISHES WITH HIGH VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOC’S) USED
ON THIS PRODUCT?
A Social Equity Code of Conduct provides assurance that workers are fairly treated,
receive decent wages, and work in a safe environment. Every manufacturer should
be able to produce a written code of conduct.
VOC’s are harmful pollutants from finishes such as paints, varnishes and lacquers that are
released during the manufacturing process and into your home. Water-based finishes are the
best choice for low or no VOC’s.
