The Air We Breathe Indoor
Healthier indoor climates — Without
a doubt, the air we breathe is essential
for our health. Even for indoor environments,
where we spend so much of our
time, the air quality is vital to our sense
of wellbeing.
In any space and often impossible to
see, chemicals are emitted into the air.
These emissions come from all kinds of
objects in our everyday lives. The type of
emissions that can have an adverse effect
on our health contain what’s called
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). In
fact, the majority of VOCs can be found
at home—in certain types of soaps, perfume
and cosmetics, cleaning products
and disinfectants, fuel, paint, plastic and
the like.

At Muuto, we want our furniture to enhance
your surroundings, while at the
same time, create healthier indoor climates.
That’s why we go to great lengths
to have our furniture tested. So far, the
vast majority of our furntiture collection
is VOC tested.
Our Work Internally
Our operation — We always consider
how our decisions will affect the lives of
those around us. That also includes evaluating
our internal operations.
Our Danish HQ, offices and warehouses
are running on 100% renewable energy.
A move that lowers our overall carbon
footprint. It’s an initiative we are in the
process of incorporating in all our Muuto
showrooms and flagship stores around
the world.
In addition to lowering our carbon footprint,
we have implemented a system
that tracks our energy consumption and
carbon emissions across our internal
operations. From the cars we drive to
the electricity we use in our offices and
showrooms. This allows us to continuously
measure, evaluate and find new
ways to improve.
In striving to ensure that our designs are
produced using safe techniques, by skilled
workers who operate under healthy conditions,
we have all our manufacturers
sign our Code of Conduct. Our Code of
Conduct is aligned with the UN Global
Compact of Human Rights and includes
principles that respect labor laws, human
rights, ethical conduct as well as the
environment. Key issues include anticorruption
policies and prohibiting child
labor. Because for us, it’s essential that our
suppliers share the same mindset when it
comes to socially responsible practices.
A Shared Responsibility
Our suppliers — As we aim to take responsibility
for our operations, we expect
and demand the same from our suppliers.
