Our commitment extends beyond the initial design to encompass the entire manufacturing process. We're taking strides to be a better partner, minimize waste, and utilize renewable energy sources whenever possible. We strive to continuously improve our manufacturing processes in order to help “Design A Better World” for all of us. This approach allows us to not only create more sustainable products but also to set a standard for responsible manufacturing within the floral industry.
Resource Efficiency
• Implement lean manufacturing principles to minimize waste and improve efficiency in production processes.
• Adopt energy-efficient technologies and practices, such as LED lighting, energy-efficient machinery, and optimizing equipment usage schedules to reduce energy consumption.
More Sustainable Materials
• Prioritize the use of renewable, recycled, and non-toxic materials in product development to minimize environmental impact.
Renewable Energy
• Transition to renewable energy sources for manufacturing operations, such as solar, wind, or hydroelectric power, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• Invest in on-site renewable energy generation (e.g., solar panels on factory roofs) or purchase renewable energy certificates to support renewable energy development.
Waste Management
• Waste reduction and recycling program that identifies waste streams and implements strategies to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials.
Sustainable Supply Chain
• Conduct environmental and social audits of suppliers to ensure they adhere to sustainability standards.
• Foster long-term relationships with suppliers committed to sustainable practices and collaborate on sustainability projects.
Product Lifecycle Management
• Design products for sustainability, considering the entire lifecycle from raw materials to end-of-life, including degradation, recyclability, and use of more sustainable materials.
More Sustainable Materials
• Prioritize the use of sustainable materials in manufacturing processes, including recycled content, renewable resources, and materials with lower environmental impacts.
• Reduce hazardous substances in manufacturing and products to protect ecosystems and human health.
Water Conservation
• Implement water-saving technologies and practices in manufacturing processes, such as closed-loop water systems or efficient cooling technologies.
• Engage in water stewardship initiatives to protect local water resources and ensure sustainable water management within the community.
Emissions Reduction
• Set and pursue ambitious carbon reduction targets to decrease greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing operations.
Employee Engagement and Training
• Educate and engage employees in sustainability initiatives, encouraging them to contribute ideas and participate in environmental efforts.
Innovation and Continuous Improvement
• Invest in research and development for new technologies and processes that enhance sustainability.
• Establish a culture of continuous improvement where sustainability practices are regularly evaluated and optimized.
