We're here for good: Noho is a certified B-Corporation
At Noho, we believe our furniture should fit with our values as well as our lifestyle. That’s why we’re proud to share that we have recently become a B Corp certified company, and joined a global community of over 8,000 like-minded businesses (such as Patagonia & Allbirds) playing our part to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.
This certification means that we meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. With a score of 104.6 our B Corp journey is off to a great start but we’re not sitting still and are already working on initiatives to continue to improve and grow as a B Corp.
What we're doing:
- Purpose beyond profit: We’re committed to creating furniture that’s fundamentally better for people and our planet as we are to our financial well-being.
- Designing human-centric products that add value to our lives and are built to last.
- Using waste-stream materials to produce our products in a better way.
- Manufacturing our products in New Zealand allows us to power production with 82% renewable energy.
- All our packaging materials are 100% recyclable. We use plain cardboard, tissue paper, compostable corn-starch bags, and environmental printing inks.
Our score breakdown:
- Governance: 17.0/20
- Workers: 28.7/40
- Community: 17.3/40
- Environment: 37.3/75
- Customers: 4.1/5
