Communication

The Furniture Footprint bridges the gap between

subjective design perception and objective,

sustainability-relevant areas and is thus an

interface between aesthetics and considered

consumption.

The market is flooded with certificates. But what is behind the certifica-

tes and how do I as a customer recognise which product really meets my

expectations of sustainability? And what does sustainability mean for the

company?

With the Furniture Footprint, we want to answer these questions and seek

a whole new level of dialogue — at eye level. We offer you access to all

sustainability-relevant information. You can trace the origin of the raw

materials used and see where and under what social conditions production

took place. But we also make important health-relevant information such

as emission values or ingredients accessible to you. The materials are rated

based on sustainability criteria with scores from 0 to 10. The 7 parameters

are based on the “17 Sustainable Development Goals” of the United Nations

and on the specific life cycle assessment data of the “Ökobaudat” of the

BMI (Federal Ministry of the Interior, for Construction and Home).
