WE ARE INTRODUCING THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE SUSTAINABILITY TOOL ON THE MARKET. How it works 1. RAW MATERIALS & RESOURCES ✓ Knowledge of the origin of the raw materials ✓ Knowledge of conditions in the production chain ✓ Resource optimisation 4. SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ✓ Code of Conduct for suppliers ✓ Suppliers which have been risk-assessed ✓ Inspected suppliers from risk countries LOOK OUT FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY GRADE On certain product pages and product lists you will see this symbol. This means that the product is included in The Better Effect Index and has a sustainability grade.

You can find the product's various measurements and see how it measures up against different sustainability criteria. You decide for yourself how much information you want to see with the aid of the different views: 'Overview', 'Details' and 'Grading'. ✓ Interactive module on product pages ✓ Three different views with three different levels of detail WHAT IS THE BETTER EFFECT INDEX? The Better Effect Index is the first comprehensive tool for those who want to make sustainable interior design choices. You can find it on our product pages. WHY DID YOU CREATE THIS TOOL? A new generation is putting new demands on companies' sustainability work. People want to have clear answers. But when it comes to sustainability, things often become really complicated. We wanted to make it simple to make conscious decisions. By using something as tangible as a sustainability tool, we lower the barrier for someone who wants to make sustainable interior design choices. HOW DO YOU AWARD GRADES? On the basis of 17 indicators in 6 different areas, we award grades which combine to generate a sustainability grade for the product. The various measurement criteria are derived from requirements expressed by architects, interior designers, purchasers and users. We also took the UN's sustainability goals into account.
