Sustainability

Our goal

Our pledge to the environment is to create furniture that spans generations. When you purchase Stressless^® furniture, you choose quality that will serve you throughout a lifetime. We continuously strive to improve efficiency, believing that any measure that enhances quality while reducing energy, time and wastage during production is a step closer to creating superior furniture that lasts.

How we report

Our 2024 Sustainability Statement is prepared in alignment with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and European Sustainability Reporting Standards, and has undergone independent limited assurance by PwC. This means the information we disclose has been checked for validity by an external auditor, setting us apart from companies that report without third-party verification.
