Prof, constantly looking for quality and sensitive to ecological issues, uses his experience and professionalism to design and produce office furniture in a sustainable way.
From the carefully selected raw material, through the entire processing and packaging process, to disposal, everything is focused on safeguarding health and saving energy.
In a context where sustainability and care for the environment are increasingly in the spotlight, environmental responsibility is not only a moral obligation but also a fundamental value. Prof is firmly committed to minimising the environmental impact of its activities, promoting sustainable practices and investing in innovative solutions that protect natural resources.
We are proud to announce that Prof has achieved EMAS certification, an important European accreditation for sustainable environmental management. This achievement demonstrates our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and promoting responsible practices at every stage of our operations.
By adopting high environmental standards, we are committed to contributing to the environment protection and ensuring a more sustainable future for generations to come.
ESG is an acronym that refers to three dimensions of sustainability: environmental, social and governance (Environmental, Social, Governance).
These are the aspects referred to when assessing corporate sustainability, in particular the ability to align with a set of fundamental requirements for sustainable development from an economic, environmental, social and corporate governance perspective. Compliance assessment activities simultaneously take into account economic, environmental, social and ethical aspects that are intertwined in a virtuous circle.
In Prof, sustainability is a commitment that we pursue with great responsibility.
In fact, the company is UNI EN ISO 14001:2015 certified, a certification that recognises Prof’s concrete commitment to establishing its own environmental management system that regulates the environmental impact of production activities and systematically seeks its improvement.
The FSC® Chain of Custody certification guarantees the traceability of the materials by ensuring that they come from FSC® certified forests.
FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) certification is one of the most recognized and respected certifications worldwide for the sustainable management of forest resources. It is an important tool for promoting sustainability in the forestry industry and the production of wood products, helping to preserve forests and ensure that forest resources are managed responsibly.
Prof, in addition to using E1 certified panels in compliance with European formaldehyde emission regulations for both raw product and melamine, has introduced CARB ATCM phase II certified panels, designed with the aim of ensuring the highest quality of materials, combined with a reduced ecological footprint.
CARB ATCM phase II certification sets severe indoor air quality standards for products to ensure a safer and greener environment. Its aim is to reduce formaldehyde emissions and protect the public from the harmful effects of air pollution.
Prof’s continue moving towards a production system that minimizes environmental impact.
In 2016, it invested in a high-tech biodegradable cardboard packaging machine, which enables the making of customized packaging just in time. Optimization on a product-specific basis allows a considerable reduction in packaging and warehouse costs and, consequently, in waste to be disposed of.
Prof reconfirms its ‘eco-friendly’ strategy through its values of sustainability and responsibility, and makes this by relying on a new electricity provider (Dolomiti Energia), from 100% renewable sources.
The company uses certified 100% clean electricity, produced from renewable sources without the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere and without consumption of natural resources.
Prof is taking several measures to reduce the environmental impact of its energy consumption, both through the adoption of renewable energy sources and through energy efficiency. Following this strategy, will contribute to the company’s sustainability goals and demonstrate a responsible commitment to the environment.
