Project furnishing with a minimal CO2 footprint!

At Lensvelt, we aim not only to create stunning pieces of furniture but also to have a positive impact on our planet. As a conscious consumer, you understand the importance of sustainability for the future of our world. That's why we're excited to share how we're making a difference, step by step.

Responsible Production and CO2 Reduction
Avoiding overproduction and unnecessary CO2 emissions, we've chosen not to produce ourselves but to collaborate with flexible suppliers. For each project, we carefully select the most suitable partner, preventing overproduction and minimizing our environmental footprint.

Local Production, Reduced CO2 Emissions
Our partners are all located within an hour's travel time from our base in Breda. This not only supports local entrepreneurship but also significantly reduces CO2 emissions. Local production means less transportation, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable production chain.

Sustainable Energy: Harnessing the Power of the Sun
By choosing Lensvelt, you're also investing in clean energy. Our Breda facility is covered with solar panels that generate more electricity than we use in both Breda and Amsterdam combined. This reduces our reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

Our Breda facility is covered with solar panels that generate more electricity than we use in both our facilities.

Smart packaging and efficient transport
Thanks to our in-house warehouse, we work with optimal order volumes. Our dedicated transport means follow efficient routes visiting both customers and suppliers, minimizing empty trucks. We strive to use plastic and cardboard sparingly, as our efficient transportation methods often require only simple packaging with furniture blankets.

Offsetting CO2 Footprint through our tree planting program
Despite all our efforts, some level of CO2 emissions is inevitable. That's why we've established the "A Tree For A Workstation" program. For every workstation purchased, we plant a tree.

Collaborating with sustainable partners
Our suppliers are selected not just based on technical aspects but also their commitment to sustainability. Through our Service Level Agreement, we define joint sustainability goals and consistently monitor our progress.

Certified ISO 14001: 2015
We're proud that Lensvelt complies with the environmental quality requirements of ISO 14001: 2015. This certification is proof of our dedication to eco-friendly practices. We encourage our suppliers to uphold similar standards, working together towards a sustainable future.

Choosing Lensvelt means choosing style and sustainability, elegance and ecology. Together, we're building a world where your taste and our planet go hand in hand.
