Our environmental goals - 2030

Seating solutions helping lower your carbon footprint

In 2023, we assessed the status and performance of our 2030 environmental targets that we set in 2019 against the increased scope we now face due to the growth of our organisation. We have carefully revised them to be more realistic to achieve, yet ambitious. We have adjusted either target figures or years to consider all recent and upcoming acquisitions. These goals directly relate to the key areas where we hold considerable influence—especially concerning the materials we use and the energy we consume.

Our targets reflect the current scope. Changes in scope due to acquisitions or otherwise can lead to changes in our long-term goals. Any additions to the current scope will be measured on the same baseline as the rest of Flokk. Flokk is indirectly responsible for impacts from Scope 3, as these can be affected by unforeseen circumstances such as geopolitical and/or financial instability.

Similar to our sustainable design principles, these objectives are closely intertwined with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the global targets established by the EU European Green Deal. Our objectives aid in the reduction of worldwide carbon emissions but also empowers our customers to significantly diminish their own environmental footprint when seeking new seating solutions.​​

These goals serve a dual role. Not only do they provide a measure for quantifying our efforts, but they also act as driving forces, compelling us to consistently refine our design and manufacturing processes. This relentless pursuit ensures that we continuously pioneer sustainable seating solutions, positioning us as leaders in innovative and environmentally conscious design.

Why energy & materials?

Our sustainability aims are simple - lower our carbon emissions, lower the strain we place on natural resources and ensure a healthier environment for our customers, employees and the planet as a whole. And the way we can make the biggest impact is by focusing on our energy consumption and the materials we use. 

By switching to renewable energies as much as possible, and optomising our manufacturing processes, we are able to lower our consumption, and therefore significantly reduce our carbon emissions.

We also calculate that 90% of our environmental impact comes from the materials we use - before they even reach our factories. Switching to less energy-intensive recycled materials, and sometimes simply reducing the amount of materials used, can massively reduce the environmental impact of our company and products.

The challenge of a growing business

Flokk is a growing company, regularly acquiring exciting brands to complement our furniture offering, and part of our journey is to implement Flokk’s high level of sustainable design and manufacturing on the newly acquired brands. This will, of course, affect the overall Flokk picture, which will include the environmental impact of the newly acquired manufacturing facilities and the material make-up of existing products.

Long term though, our mission remains the same – to raise the environmental standards of every Flokk brand, continual sustainable growth and development of existing and acquired manufacturing facilities, and implementing our sustainable design principles on all new designs from every Flokk brand.
