our accreditations

We want to make a positive impact not only in the classroom but in the world around us. This extends to how we design, make and deliver our products.

It encompasses the materials we use and the processes we have put in place to make us more accountable and efficient at producing quality products with minimal adverse impact on our planet. 

We take our responsibility seriously - a large selection of our products carry the Environmental Choice NZ tick of approval, the official environmental label in New Zealand. This approval goes beyond the product being a‘green, eco-friendly product’, it recognises our strong environmental performance which proves our products are ecologically kind as well as being better for the planet. Visit the Environmental Choice website for the full list of specifications. 

The award-winning design of the Bodyfurn® chair has been awarded ECNZ certification.

Environmental Choice New Zealand (ECNZ) certification also gives Furnware international recognition for our environmental practices. ECNZ is affiliated to GEN, the Global Ecolabelling Network - among the world’s strongest environmental labels for products and services. Through this affiliation, we are associated with like-minded organisations around the world who use natural, recycled and eco-friendly materials to design quality products that consume less energy to produce. Awarded by an impartial third party, an ecolabel is given to products that meet established environmental leadership criteria.  We love to lead the way in our innovative approach to product design and manufacturing so we’re extremely proud to be a part of this network. 

By thinking and acting in a responsible and sustainable way from ideas to implementation, we are protecting the world we live in for future generations.
