sustainable practices

DBJ Furniture has a strong commitment to environmentally responsible design and manufacturing. DBJ has been certified with the international ISO14001 certification from 2012-2018.

DBJ’s commitment to environmentally responsible design and manufacturing is a long-standing one. DBJ actively pursued better environmental practises before such commitments became a business imperative, from as early as 2002.  We are externally audited annually to ensure high standards of sustainability, achieving Enviromark Gold standard in 2005 and upgrading to become ISO14001 certified from 2012 till 2018.
