Objective
Office furniture designer Moventi had already made sustainability a priority when they approached our team. They had completed their first carbon footprint, were purchasing credible offsets to be carbon-positive, and were certified by FISP (Furniture Industry Sustainability Programme). However, with only a small team, they were limited in their capacity to keep up with competitors, who were beginning to include exciting environmental product disclosures with detailed Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). Moventi were unsure what data they would need and how to get started. They sought our help to determine which certifications would be the most relevant, how to obtain them, and what other sustainability data they should be reporting on. Our expertise could help them provide the proof of sustainability performance their customers were asking for.
Moventi have established sustainability as a major factor in the company’s progression. To deliver on our ambitious programme we were looking to partner with a forward thinking sustainability consultancy to help create a roadmap and action plan. Sustainit proved to be an excellent partner who helped us understand, identify and deliver on our expectations.
