designing with purpose. building for the future.
At Workbench, we believe that great design should never come at the planet’s expense. Our commitment to environmental responsibility is embedded in everything we do - from the materials we use to the processes we refine. Here's how we’re making a difference.
🌿 FSC® Certification - Why FSC® Matters
We’re committed to sustainability through our FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certification - the global gold standard for responsible timber sourcing. When you choose Workbench furniture, you're investing in exceptional craftsmanship and sustainable practices.Whether your project requires full FSC Chain of Custody or not, we ensure that the timber we use comes from responsibly managed forests - supporting long-term environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
♻️ ISO 14001 Environmental Management
Certified Commitment to the Planet.
Our ISO 14001 certification reflects our proactive approach to environmental management. This internationally recognised standard provides a framework for monitoring and improving our environmental performance - ensuring we manage our impact responsibly and continuously improve our practices.
At Workbench, sustainability isn’t a checkbox - it’s a responsibility we carry for future generations.
📊 Carbon Reporting & Net Zero Goals
Real Reductions. Transparent Reporting.
We publicly disclose our carbon footprint and are on an ambitious journey toward net zero. Starting in 2020 - 2021, we calculated our baseline and set a target to reduce carbon intensity by 7%. By 2021 - 2022, we had already achieved a 9% reduction - thanks to simple, meaningful changes. But we know that deeper reductions will require a more detailed look at our processes and supply chains. Over the next 5 - 10 years, we’re committed to identifying and implementing these long-term improvements.
🔍 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Full Transparency on Product Impact. We’ve made it easier than ever to understand the environmental impact of our products. All standard Workbench furniture now includes Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) documentation, available for download directly from our product pages.
This step is part of our broader mission to give our clients greater transparency and to drive continued innovation in sustainable design.
