Workspace Commercial Furniture Leads the Way in Sustainability and Quality with New Ecodesign Certification and ISO Renewals
Adelaide, Australia - Tuesday 22 October 20204 - Workspace Commercial Furniture, Australia's leading commercial furniture manufacturer, is proud to announce its latest achievement in environmental and quality management: the ISO 14006:2020 Ecodesign Certification. Workspace is the first Australian furniture manufacturer to achieve this internationally recognised certification, reinforcing the company's commitment to sustainability and responsible design.
The ISO 14006:2020 certification focuses on integrating Ecodesign principles into Workspace's product development processes. It signifies that the company considers environmental factors at every stage of a product's lifecycle—from initial design and material selection to manufacturing, distribution, and end-of-life disposal. This holistic approach reduces environmental harm while meeting the growing demand from Workspace's clients for sustainable, eco-friendly solutions.
"We are especially proud to be the first in Australia to achieve ISO 14006 certification," said Ivanna Dutton, Quality and Environment Coordinator of Workspace. "This is a major step in our ongoing commitment to sustainability. By embedding Ecodesign principles into everything we create, we not only help reduce our environmental footprint but also align with our clients' desire for greener, more responsible products."
In addition to the ISO 14006 achievement, Workspace is also celebrating the renewal of two key certifications that further highlight its dedication to excellence and sustainability:
ISO 9001:2015 - Quality Management Systems: For over a decade, Workspace has maintained its ISO 9001 certification, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of quality, durability, and functionality. The ISO 9001:2015 certification guarantees that all processes, from design through to delivery, are optimised for quality, consistency, and continuous improvement.
ISO 14001:2015 - Environmental Management Systems: This certification reaffirms Workspace's dedication to minimising its environmental impact. Through efficient environmental management systems, Workspace ensures resource efficiency, waste reduction, and responsible practices across the entire supply chain.
These certifications reflect Workspace's long-standing commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. By incorporating the highest international standards, Workspace continues to lead the Australian furniture industry as a responsible and forward-thinking manufacturer.
"Achieving ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and now ISO 14006 sets Workspace apart in the Australian furniture market," added Tom Clark, CEO]. "We are not just providing high-quality furniture; we are making a positive impact on the environment and supporting our clients in achieving their sustainability goals."
