Environmental Icons
Furniture With Feel Good
To forever increase our offering of responsible products we must seek full traceability from our suppliers. The role of our Environmental Icons is to grade our supply chain’s product portfolio to give you clarity surrounding terminology and confidence in what you are buying.
In order to make the biggest impact in the shortest time, initially we will use the Environmental Icons to badge products within our Bazaar’s e-commerce range as here we are not influenced by a customer desire where there may not yet be a sustainable priority vs budget. However, our badging process will assist in educating us all and over time we are looking to achieve 100% traceability across the group.
Our designers have worked their graft sourcing local suppliers for each furniture piece we feature, with an aim to redefine the way your property is furnished. Designed for longevity, our furniture has been crafted to last, with the use of durable and high-quality materials that will withstand the demands of everyday use. From handcrafted and carbon conscious, to non-toxic and organic, our transparency on this is illustrated through ‘Environmental Icons’ which you will find labelled and explained on all our products.
