Vestre World’s First Furniture Manufacturer to Declare Carbon Footprints

Norwegian brand Vestre has announced that it will list CO2 emissions generated by each of its products alongside the price, in a bid to foster greater transparency and accountability in the furniture industry. The company has created Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its entire inventory, charting the amount of energy needed to create the outdoor furniture pieces and their carbon footprint. These independently verified numbers will be introduced in the company's 2021 catalogue and subsequently rolled out across the entire website. Vestre hopes that listing this information alongside measurements and materials will help customers to make more environmentally responsible purchase decisions.
