Sustainability.
Environment, Circularity and Community.
The Nord Agency recognises the responsibility to fully understand the social and environmental impacts of our brands. From supply chains to environmental impact - we work collaboratively with our partners to reach our sustainability objectives. When selecting brands to work with, we consider how they respond to the environment, the community, circularity and whether our values align.
The majority of Asplund’s products are manufactured in small to medium sized factories within Sweden. The furniture is made with as many sustainable components as possible and Sweden has some of the highest sustainability laws in the world which is why they have one of the highest fossil free energy driven productions in the world.
Asplund
Asplund focuses on continually improving and upgrading all their products in both quality and sustainability by dedicating their resources to fulfilling this achievement. Through researching and investing in more sustainable alternative materials and processes they have been able to improve the sustainable footprint of their products.
Some of these alternative materials include new lacquers for various products as well as ensuring all collections use FSC wood.
