Working towards a greener future

Green is not a trend. It is not something that will (or should) come in and out of fashion. It’s a commitment to an ongoing journey of respect and accountability. Always reassessing processes and finding ways to improve.

The appetite for respectful quality will, however, impact style trends. In the 2020s, we will want the aesthetics of our chosen materials to reflect our “green” mindset as well. This clean, natural look serves as currency for our conscience.

So now, lightly treated natural materials will become ever more popular at the core of our design selection, and in contrast, high-pop hues and synthetics will mostly serve as just occasional accents.

At BoConcept, we are doing everything we can to work towards a greener future and in doing so, encouraging our customers to work towards the same goal. Here are a few ways in which we are making this happen…

Our factory uses carbon neutral shipping methods to distribute our beautiful products through optimised networks.

Considered Workplace:
As of January 2021, our facilities in Denmark use 100% renewable energy from wind turbines. This is just one of many initiatives that we are proud of. Considering our working environment has been a huge focus over the last few years. After spending time calculating the carbon footprint of our products and outlining the areas where we can make a difference in our factory, ‘Reduction’ has been key, reducing energy consumption, noise, dust, errors, and wastage.

Our collection features ethically sourced woods to create beautiful long-lasting pieces of furniture

Sourcing responsibly:
We put a high priority on making sure our materials are responsibly sourced, with our primary wood supplier being FSC certified. Meaning that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

A timeless neutral colour palette to stand the test of time

Product Longevity:
By encouraging timeless trends that will not go out of fashion in a hurry, we are discouraging the "throwaway mentality" that has become a big problem in society. Using neutral colour palettes and natural textures and patterns that are evergreen in style.

Also, by ensuring our products are made to a high level of quality that will stand the test of time and endurance, elongating their lifespan and reducing the cradle-to-grave cycle.
