For SFC, sustainability in home furnishings specifically refers to the design, production, sale, and use of furniture to minimize negative environmental, health, and social impacts. This includes using eco-friendly materials, reducing energy and water consumption during manufacturing, ensuring product durability, and considering ethical labor practices throughout the supply chain.
SFC designs our education, working groups, webinar topics, tools, and resources based on the "Sustainability Six:" carbon, health, social, waste, water, and circularity. We encourage manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, and designers to incorporate these practices into their company policies.
