On Earth Day: Let's talk about Certified B Corps and why they are important. TIPTOE is such an entity - but they are even more: they retain the added responsibility of being a purpose-driven company. This means that their environmental commitment is written into the company’s articles of association. This status legally obliges TIPTOE to meet sustainability commitments: "Our mission is to offer well-designed, well-made and durable furniture, to accelerate increased awareness of environmental issues in our industry and to promote a positive business model. This status serves as a guideline for our next CSR and makes the company liable should it fail to live up to its commitments in the future. environmental standards and are committed to progress. B Corp stands for “Benefit Corporation” and designates a company that is recognized for its beneficial impact on the world. The certification focuses on five distinct areas: environment, governance, employees, customers and community." This is what ethical manufacturing looks like. (TIPTOE is available through Design Public!) Many thanks to Modern In Denver Magazine:

What makes a material sustainable? It seems like a simple question, however the answer far more complex. There are many factors to consider, including the raw materials, production, transport, suitability for application, and end of life, to name just a few. The team at Whisker is constantly researching materials to ensure the what we specify has genuine green credentials. Lofty Ideals uses Weathertex cladding, which not only creates a striking appearance, but it is also a highly-sustainable product. This Australian made cladding uses PEFC certified state forest or private hardwoods from controlled sources. The logs are chipped, pulped and pressed with 3% natural wax to make a product that is completely natural with no added silica, glues, resins or formaldehydes. #sustainabledesign #architect #melbournearchitects #interiordesign #lofyideals
