The Arrangement has for over three decades been committed to responsible wood sourcing regarding product development, manufacture, and curatorial purchasing. SFC member since 2008, proudly displaying the SFC (Sustainable Furnishing Council1) logo on all printed advertisements, emails and hangtags.
The Arrangement, under the guidance of Katherine Snedeker, has guidelines and practices whereby suppliers using preferred certified FSC wood sources and fiber from handmade, reclaimed, eco-friendly and recycled products are used wherever possible. Policy includes preference for FSC certified as the chain of certification is documented (over other certification systems) and/or recycled wood. Read our policy here.
At no point does the Arrangement purchase wood from illegal or otherwise controversial sources, conflict timber, or wood harvesting in violation of indigenous or community rights.
The proactive plan The Arrangement is committed to is continued sourcing of products that are from responsible sustainable wood resources. We have communicated our sustainably driven commitment to responsible sourcing to our vendors to NOT knowingly purchase illegally logged wood and to avoid sourcing illegal or controversial wood that we are aware of at the time of this statement.
