Environmental policy | Johanson Design

At Johanson Design, environmental responsibility is not a separate initiative – it’s a fundamental part of who we are. From how we design products to how we run our daily operations, we aim to reduce our environmental impact and support the shift to a circular economy.

We want to lead by example. That means working proactively to protect the environment, while continuously improving our processes, materials, and partnerships. This policy applies to all areas of our business and reflects our long-term environmental strategy.

Sustainable Design & Production
We design products to last – both in style and in use. We prioritize durability, repairability, and recyclability. Our goal is to reduce waste and support a circular lifecycle through:

• Responsible material choices with low climate impact.

• Efficient production that minimizes emissions and resource use.

• Smart product development for reuse, refurbishment, and second-life applications.

Environmental Standards & Compliance
We meet all applicable environmental laws, customer requirements, and regulatory standards, including:

• ISO 14001 environmental management principles.

• Möbelfakta and EU Ecolabel criteria for relevant products.

• Ongoing risk assessments and process updates to improve performance.

Circular Thinking
We believe in a circular future. That means extending product lifespans, using resources wisely, and rethinking waste. We actively promote:

• Awareness and knowledge of circular economy principles throughout the value chain.

• Design strategies that support adaptability, longevity, and meaningful second use.

Supply Chain Responsibility
We expect our suppliers to share our environmental values. We require them to:

• Use environmentally friendly raw materials and production methods.

• Meet high standards in safety, ethics, and environmental care.

• Follow our Supplier Code of Conduct, based on international guidelines including the UN Global Compact and ILO conventions.

Pollution Prevention & Biodiversity Protection
We work to actively prevent pollution and protect ecosystems. This includes:

• Reducing emissions from transport and energy use.

• Eliminating harmful substances in products and processes.

• Choosing methods that respect biodiversity and natural resources.

People & Awareness
Sustainability is a shared responsibility. We engage employees, customers, and partners by:

• Building internal knowledge and environmental awareness.

• Encouraging environmental thinking in all roles and functions.

• Communicating our environmental goals clearly and transparently.

This policy is reviewed regularly and serves as a guide for all stakeholders – customers, employees, suppliers, and the wider community. Our ambition is to not just meet standards but to drive progress – with integrity, creativity, and care for the planet.
