FOREST AS A GUIDING STAR FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY
RESPONSIBLE FORESTRY
At Rowico Home we believe in taking care of nature and its resources to the best of our ability. Ever since the company was founded in 1971 wood has been our most important component. So it’s only natural for us to actively do our bit to promote responsible forestry.
WE CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Some of the things we do for sustainability is to try to put as much production as possible in Europe where we can manufacture our furniture in FSC certified wood. We aim for all products to be carbon neutral by 2025, we strive to use fabrics with a low climate impact, and for each product there should be clear instructions on how the product is made, how it is recycled, and how it is resold or donated. Our timeless design is also a big part of our sustainability thinking. It should be the right design in the right material to last a long time. We want to make furniture that lasts both when it comes to quality and appearance for the next generation as well.
In our sustainability work, we also think a lot about working conditions, social responsibility and our staff. Please read more in our sustainability report.
WHAT DOES FSC® CERTIFICATION SIGNIFY?
FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, which is an independent, international member organisation working to achieve environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically robust use of the world’s forests through its FSC certification system. FSC® certification on any item of our furniture at Rowico Home indicates that all the timber comes from responsible forestry operations, i.e. forestry that takes into account people and the environment. By purchasing furniture that is FSC-certified you are making a better environmental choice. In order for a company to be able to call itself FSC® certified, it must have 100% control of its supply chains and its stocks. Regular audits are conducted by an external party.
OUR FSC® FURNITURE
Most of our FSC certified furniture is FSC 100%, while our sofas are FSC MIX.
