This recognition enhances their capability to offer a comprehensive assessment of furniture products, ensuring they meet high sustainability and social responsibility standards.
BIFMA LEVEL Certification:
BIFMA LEVEL, developed by the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (BIFMA), is a renowned product sustainability standard that assesses the sustainability of office, school, and medical furniture products throughout their entire life cycle. It focuses on three critical aspects: the environmental impact, health and wellness impact, and social impact of the products. BIFMA LEVEL certification comes in three levels: LEVEL 1, LEVEL 2, and LEVEL 3. The higher the level, the greater the dedication of the manufacturer to sustainability and social responsibility. This provides consumers with a clear indication of the product's eco-friendliness and ethical practices.
