Certification Glossary

At Comosum, we understand that navigating sustainable certifications can be overwhelming. That's why we've created a certification glossary to help make eco-friendly furniture shopping simple and transparent for our customers.

 

• BIFMA: Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association is a non-profit organization that develops voluntary standards for commercial furniture products, including seating, tables, and desks. The BIFMA certification ensures that products meet certain quality, safety, and sustainability criteria, as well as comply with relevant regulations and industry best practices.
• C2C: Cradle to Cradle is a certification that focuses on creating products with a circular lifecycle, meaning the materials used can be reused, recycled or composted, and pose no harm to the environment. This certification also considers social responsibility and encourages manufacturers to implement sustainable practices throughout their entire supply chain.
• FSC: The Forest Stewardship Council FSC is an international certification that ensures the wood used in a product comes from responsibly managed forests that meet strict environmental, social, and economic standards. By choosing products with an FSC certification, customers can support sustainable forestry practices and reduce their environmental impact.
