We champion **transparency and continuous improvement**, urging the industry to enact meaningful change.     One way our [Board of Directors](https://sustainablefurnishings.org/our-team) has determined we could have a broader reach in 2025 is to get on the road and meet you at more events, markets, and conferences. In January, we returned to the Las Vegas Market after a 5-year hiatus. Our conversations there with manufacturers, buyers, and designers along with a talk about sustainable initiatives at an SFC Member showroom proved to us that sustainability is still 'trending', though we don't label it as a trend.    ***We view sustainability as a core value and a long-term commitment t******o the care and preservation of the environment and future generations. ***   Our goal is to increase awareness and provide education at more industry events over the next 10 months. As we refine our roadmap, we might add even more opportunities to connect.   Here's where you will find us this year, and we would appreciate if you would take a moment to fill out your own attendance form.
