Environmental Protection: A Challenge for the Future, An Opportunity for GTV
Year after year, GTV has developed an increasing sensitivity towards environmental issues and, with a view to continuous improvement, adheres to regulations that prioritize the use of sustainable processes and materials. A tangible sign, a constant that traces a path oriented toward continuity, also ethical, between the production cycle and the product.
A concrete commitment by the company to offer real guarantees in terms of environmental sustainability and consumer health protection, with the goal of building a relationship of trust based on an integrated approach to sustainable development.
FSC® Certified Wood (C123220)
For the creation of its collections, Gebrüder Thonet Vienna GmbH chooses to use FSC® certified wood (Forest Stewardship Council®), the leading international certification system that ensures wood comes from forests managed according to strict environmental, social, and economic standards.
In addition to this choice, GTV adopts less visible but equally fundamental processes for sustainability. The company has initiated the conversion of the painting process, replacing polyurethane paints with water-based paints, thereby reducing atmospheric emissions and ensuring better protection for the personnel involved.
In 2021, GTV launched a new Green project, introducing entirely sustainable products, including the new Beaulieu chair, designed with a special focus on sustainability.
