To highlight EARTH MONTH, we asked a few members to share their thoughts about what sustainability means to them and how they've incorporated their sustainability commitment into their company policies and values. 

The Sustainable Furnishings Council and the National Wildlife Federation are set to begin the 2023 scoring process of their impactful joint initiative, The Wood Furniture Scorecard (WFS). Since its inception in 2018, the goal of the WFS is to encourage furniture retailers, big or small, to implement robust policies that drive responsible wood-sourcing practices through their complex supply chains. 

Every year, we update the Score Methodology and want to share that with you here. 

We may have been a little quiet over the cold winter months, but we've been busy building a new website and online learning center! The new site, set to launch later this year, will offer more sustainable learning resources, tools, and opportunities to connect with industry colleagues so that we can make meaningful changes by choice TOGETHER.

And, even though we are "under construction," we are working hard to provide sustainable programming for our stakeholders.  

The October 2022 Guide to Green is here!

SFC is happy to share the Fall High Point Market guide that lists all SFC Members exhibiting at the market and shows you how to find them on the map. We are 300 members strong and about 1/2 of them will be open for business starting this week - officially opening on Saturday, Oct. 22. Download your digital copy here, and if you are in High Point, pick up a copy at info kiosks or inside the main buildings. 

SFS has created the Circular Design Glossary in collaboration with mebl | Transforming Furniture and Soma_studiomilano. The glossary aims to demystify terms used in the circular economy related to design and furnishings. This glossary is unique as we've added company examples which embody each term and definition (without any level of sponsorship). SFC Member companies and others are featured. We think you'll appreciate these real-life solutions to today’s problematic linear ‘take-make-waste’ way of living.
