HORN CSR Strategi
We are often asked how to get started working more sustainable? Our best answer is - Just do it!
Start from one end, become wiser in the process and be aware that sustainability is not an end station. Sustainability is a journey we are on together, to constantly try to make things better.
Our own work has formalized significantly over the years. Our goal of acting responsibly and rethinking the concept of quality has become key elements in HORN as a brand and business partner. We have high ambitions, and dare to communicate and act on them.
STRATEGIC AMBITION
HORN must be the preferred choice in the kitchen and furniture industry, by being standard setting for responsible development within the industry.
Therefore, we strive for all our products to have a minimal environmental footprint, be third-party approved and circular where possible, ofcourse still with an impeccable quality.
We believe in data and facts as central to a sustainable transition, therefore a data-driven behavior is thought into all of our product development processors.
Human decency and respect for the environment are at the heart of everything we do.
Therefore, we know the origin of our products and demand that they are produced under proper conditions. Our decision-making processes are supported by requirements from third-party approvals, are based on data and with a focus on the employees, their opportunities and well-being - Both at our own facilities and externally at our suppliers.
