It is a web-based tool that makes it easier for customers to make sustainable choices. The index extends the concept of sustainability and includes areas such as climate and reuse, areas rarely subject to requirements in eco-labelling. With the index, we want to make it simpler to assess the sustainability of products in a more detailed way, not only against the basic requirements. Since the index was launched in 2017, we have seen a number of positive effects. It has helped our customers to see and assess the sustainability performance of the products. It stimulates our own sustainability work and it drives the general discussion of which requirements are relevant to set." Johanna Ljunggren, Kinnarps Sustainability Manager 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.
