The climate pact of the furniture industry
Sustainability is very important at nobilia. This also applies to the issue of greenhouse gas emissions. It is particularly important here to face up to the responsibility that current generations bear towards their descendants and the environment together with other manufacturers. In 2016, the DGM launched the “Climate Pact for the Furniture Industry” and nobilia is a permanent member. In order for the CO2 footprint to be gradually reduced and ideally neutralized, it is important for nobilia to take a pioneering role, publicize this issue and raise public awareness of it.

The furniture in this collection was awarded the highest emission class A in accordance with the award basis for the emissions label of the German Quality Association for Furniture e.V.
