Our path to sustainability 

Since 1956, we have been committed to innovative and responsible business practices. Courage and determination are the hallmarks of our company. We combine environmental protection, social commitment and a sense of regional identity into a single, cohesive whole, because our home is also our future. 

Because home also means the future

Recent years have clearly demonstrated the fragility of our living environments, both socially and economically. These insights highlight the need to ensure our actions are sustainable, particularly in the face of growing global challenges.

We have succeeded in adopting a holistic approach. We take responsibility, support our staff, offer apprenticeships and make a conscious effort to keep our business based in the region.

Sustainability in figures: Our commitment

At the Loosli Group, everything revolves around the future. Our sustainability management? A combination of environmental responsibility (E), social commitment (S) and sound corporate governance (G) – ESG for short. This is not just a concept, but a philosophy put into practice through concrete measures. These include, amongst other things, the increased use of renewable energy, the reduction of waste and emissions, the promotion of social justice and adherence to ethical standards. For us, sustainability is not a side issue, but the very heart of our corporate culture. We protect and nurture it, and are constantly developing it further to make our world a little better.

The LOOSLI Sustainability Index

For many years, our focus has been on producing furniture that lasts a long time and brings joy from one generation to the next. That is why sustainability is always at the forefront of our minds. At the same time, many people want to know how their choices affect the world. Loosli is the first Swiss furniture manufacturer to present a clear, data-based sustainability index for every single order.

‘Forward-thinking companies, such as the Loosli Group, are proof that sustainable design and the circular economy can go hand in hand. It is only through courage that sustainable solutions can be created.’

Alfred Münger, Author of the book *The Circular Economy as a Strategy for the Future*, owner of Münger & Partner GmbH and professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Freiburg

FAQ

It is true that CO₂ is produced naturally (e.g. volcanic eruptions, the decomposition of plants). However, we can identify the source of carbon atoms by analysing their isotopic composition. This has shown that the majority of CO₂ atoms consist of very old carbon and were therefore produced by the burning of fossil fuels.

The economy is an inert system; sustainability cannot be achieved overnight. However, there are promising ways in which we can transform our economy. One of these is the circular economy, which transforms linear processes into cycles, thereby generating additional value.

The circular economy is a system in which materials do not become waste and nature is restored. In a circular economy, products and materials remain in circulation through processes such as maintenance, reuse, repair, reprocessing, recycling and composting.

The furniture industry generates large quantities of waste and emits greenhouse gases. The introduction of circular economy principles reduces the industry’s environmental impact and leads to a more efficient use of resources, which is essential on the path towards a sustainable economy.

For furniture, almost the entire environmental impact occurs during production and pre-production. The main factors are the processing of the wood, the transport of materials and the method of electricity generation. A sustainable piece of furniture is highly recyclable and is made from local materials using renewable energy.

Loosli calculates a sustainability index for each order. The index takes various criteria into account, including the proportion of recycled material, the proportion of recyclable material (proportion of waste), the proportion sent to landfill, modularity, material properties, reduction in chemical use, extended service life, reparability, reuse, transport distances, the proportion of certified materials, and suppliers’ sustainability efforts.
