It is our mission to equip offices and public spaces. By doing this properly, we generate value for society. We exert a positive influence on the health and well-being of the people who use our products. We also support clients in achieving their business aims. Our company employs 6,400 people. We shape the local economy.

In 2012, we joined the UN Global Compact initiative, which sets international standards for business responsibility. We committed to following 10 rules concerning human rights, labour standards, protection of the natural environment and anti-corruption, as well as striving for continuous development in these areas.

You can find all these rules in our strategic documents that make ethical standards binding inside our subsidiaries and in relations with our suppliers and partners uniform.

We offer our clients eco-friendly materials: FSC®-certified timber (FSC-C120977), bamboo (which can be quickly renewed), light cellular boards, and composite boards made of recycled materials. Our armrests and chair bases are made of plastic produced from regranulate; woollen upholsteries have Wools of New Zealand certificates, which guarantees sustainable sheep breeding; and our upholstery materials have the EU flower label. We recycle over 75% of the waste we produce on our own.

We optimise emissions from transporting our products: we use replaceable containers with a double floor, which allows us to increase the loading capacity of our trucks; some chairs are transported without packaging, while some are packed in L-shape cartons. In 2014–2015, we managed to increase the loading capacity of our trucks (from 33 to 55 pallets), thanks to BDF transport and a replaceable floor.

We have over 2,500 suppliers from more than a dozen countries – these are a huge treasure, but also a great responsibility. In our purchasing policies and the “Nowy Styl Group Supplier Code of Conduct,” we define our minimum ethical, environmental and social standards. We follow them within our company and we also want our partners to do the same. We verify their compliance with these rules at the beginning of our cooperation and during periodical audits.

At the same time, we and our suppliers inspire each other and work together on new solutions that will allow all of us to reduce the negative influence we exert on the environment.

Two important fields of our research and development activities are acoustics and ergonomics. We are continuously improving our solutions and services, so that they can have a positive impact on the health of our end users and the efficiency of companies.

We are handing you a new social report compiled by Nowy Styl Group. In this document we try to clearly show the progress our organisation has made in the area of sustainable development in the last two years.

Every day we act according to a defined mission that always concentrates on people. It is those people for whom we realise our projects in order to make their workplaces healthier and more comfortable. At the same time, we create a strong and ethical organisation for which development also means the development of its employees and the communities in which it operates. We know that our activity has a huge impact on the natural environment; that’s why we constantly work on reducing our influence and undertake different actions that aim to neutralise it with future generations in mind.

On the pages of this report, we show in detail how we have taken into consideration the rules of sustainable development when implementing internal changes. We also present a detailed summary of the promises we made in the previous report.

We warmly invite you to read the report carefully!

Management Board of Nowy Styl Group
