Sustainability
In the emerging world of sustainable practices and corporate social responsibility, knowing and being in control of your supply chain is increasingly essential.
And Copenhagen Design wishes to sustain this focus throughout our production process.
It is about the choices we make, about being consistent. And transparent. We require our manufacturers to adhere to applicable laws and regulations consistently and conscientiously. We monitor the auditing processes and follow up on a regular basis.
Product sustainability
Some of the choices we make include finding sustainable materials for our products, such as the plastic product Tritan. It contains:
- no bisphenols
- Neither BPA nor BPS
Making it the safe choice for our clients – and for the end users of each item produced.
Another example is our manufacturer in Thailand who produces all our ceramics.
They focus on:
- Wastewater management
- Changing all fixtures in the factory to LED lighting.
And they have recently converted as much as a third of their electricity consumption to solar power by installing their very own solar panels on the roof of the facility.
As a part of our sustainable journey, we have made the choice to recycle our packaging to help reduce the volume of waste sent to landfill. This means that all orders made on our webshop will be sent in recycled packaging.
Working environment
Sustainability is not only about products and processes, but also about the people who work for us. It is a perpetual process of improvement, but all our manufacturers are also audited on a regular basis when it comes to living and working conditions for their employees, from safety in the workplace to worker’s rights and environmental regulation.
At Copenhagen Design we welcome and applaud all improvements and continue to monitor and support the journey towards a more sustainable future in all its aspects.
