Well, Balance 4 poot, S25 headerxxl

We operate according to the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy. This means that we not only focus on reducing our environmental impact by using less materials, but also ensure a high quality and safe use of materials.

Our key product lines conform to the Cradle-to-Cradle Certified® standard, where an external body analyses our furniture across five sustainability categories*:

  • Healthy and safe material use
  • Product circularity
  • Clean air and climate protection
  • Water and soil stewardship
  • Social fairness

‘We contribute to a world where materials are safe and retain value.’

Cradle-to-Cradle certification: more than a label 

The Cradle-to-Cradle is an important pillar in our business operations. And it's much more than just a certification. It is a philosophy with which we create products that contribute to a circular economy. Healthy, reusable and made with respect for the earth.  

To obtain Cradle-to-Cradle certification, an independent accredited body – working with the Cradle-to-Cradle Products Innovation Institute – assesses a product. They inspect on the basis of the five core pillars of Cradle-to-Cradle. Companies must also meet certain health and environmental standards, such as a low CO₂ impact per product life cycle. 

The five pillars of Cradle-to-Cradle*

  • Circular design: each product is designed for a second life. 
  • Healthy materials: free of harmful substances such as PVC and PFAS. 
  • Climate-friendly production: energy-efficient and with minimal CO2 emissions. 
  • Respect for ecosystems: no damage to water and soil during production. 
  • Social responsibility: production under fair working conditions. 

This is what it means for you 

  • Consciously choosing circular products. 
  • Certified quality and reliability. 
  • Furniture can be (re)used for longer due to the design. 
  • No harmful substances and therefore a healthy working environment.

Gold and silver ratings

Ahrend scores silver and gold on many Cradle-to-Cradle pillars: something we are proud of. Indeed, this certification program is one of the most ambitious in the sector. The A2020, Ahrend Balance and Gispen TMNL product lines all achieved the coveted label. We expect the Ahrend Remode certificate in 2025. This is how we at Royal Ahrend work towards a sustainable future, together with you.
