Ekornes and the Environment

Environmental responsibility. Ekornes aims to take responsibility for the environmental impact caused by the manufacturing, distribution, use and destruction of the company's products. Over a long period the company has implemented measures at its manufacturing plants to improve the internal and external environment, while also selecting more environment-friendly raw materials. The sustainable manufacture of products with a long useful lifespan will continue to be an objective in the future development of the company.

To achieve this Ekornes has chosen to include its environmental policy in the company's objectives and values document. The following key principles shall be complied with in all parts of our business:

• Ekornes shall be perceived as an environment-friendly company. Our products shall have as little impact as possible on the environment.
• Ekornes aims to minimise the health risk experienced by employees in the workplace.
• Ekornes invests to avoid damage to the environment and to health.
• Environmental information shall be freely available, eg through environmental product declarations (EPD).
• Ekornes shall accurately and openly publish information about how the company handles its environmental responsibility.
