Sustainability & Wellness

We all have a responsibility to improve our environment and communities, through responsible manufacturing, providing quality jobs, and supporting local and global initiatives. At Futimis we understand that everything we do, across the group, has an environmental and social impact. In order to lead the way towards a sustainable future we measure and strive to continuously improve our processes with a transparent approach, we share our knowledge and encourage sustainable design and mindsets from the inception of a product to the plan for the end of its life.

As a responsible business, we play an important role in society and have a clear responsibility to ensure that people are treated properly, receive fair and equal wages, and operate under safe working conditions. We have embarked on active community and educational programs that give our local community an insight into our manufacturing practices and our commitment to the local environment.

We have developed six sustainability principles to help us create a better future.

1. Economically Prosperous

Our products are insightfully designed and responsibly manufactured to provide benefits for clients, users, and us. We are innovative with the materials we use, processes we operate, and we are committed to a low carbon society that recognizes the limits of the global environment and therefore uses resources efficiently. We develop a skilled and well-educated workforce in an economy that generates wealth and provides employment opportunities, allowing people to take advantage of the wealth generated through securing decent work.

2. Globally Responsible

We believe in products that are built to last, it makes sense for us and it makes sense for the planet. We have a responsibility to limit the impact on the environment ensuring our products stay relevant and we use responsible, quality materials that will withstand the test of time. We are committed to becoming net carbon neutral and a zero-waste group by 2025. As of 2019, our products are a positive contributor to clean air in all spaces our products occupy with BIFMA clean air certification

3. Community Cohesion

We are proud of our UK heritage and constantly looking to improve the communities we operate in. Through education, quality jobs, and local charities we look to bring our communities together to improve people’s physical and mental well-being. Our workplace cohesion is important, we celebrate our colleagues and look to develop and encourage our team.

4. Technical Innovation

We draw upon industry best practices, coupled with material innovation to design and produce products that help create healthy and sustainable environments. We use recycled and sustainable plastics where ever possible and look to continually improve the recycled content and recyclability of our furniture. Our products are built to facilitate repair and remanufacturing, using quality materials and sustainable manufacturing methods. Our aim is to eradicate human exposure to hazardous material ingredients through the restriction or elimination of compounds or products known to be toxic.

5. People Focus

Through our market insight and experience, we promote and deliver knowledge that will improve health and wellbeing. We look for opportunities to engage and educate, by resourcing the expertise of established leaders in ergonomics, health, business, design, and operations. Our teamwork is designed to address the diverse factors that influence cognitive and emotional well-being and look to continually build and improve support mechanisms.

6. Insightful Collaborations

Through research and understanding, we create real-world solutions for people, spaces, and the planet. Using our expertise and that of our partners to benefit the environment, social causes, encourage economic resilience, and world-class furniture.
