10 Points for the Future

High ecological and social standards are a mark of our product design. Material and design are chosen in such a way that neither people nor the environment suffer a detrimental effect in the long term.

Office furniture systems that are fit for the future are made from high-quality and durable materials: from recyclable steel and renewable wood, 30 per cent of which are reused.

We use two environmentally friendly processes to apply paint to our products: powder coating and wet painting with solvent-free paint. These high standards minimise waste and emissions – for the sake of people and planet.

We have been keeping energy statistics since 1973. We improve energy and raw material consumption year on year and use the resources we buy economically and efficiently.

We use the valuable raw materials of steel, wood and aluminium carefully – through material-saving designs and average product lives of over 20 years. More than 85 per cent of our materials are recyclable.

Because we manufacture our products exclusively in Switzerland we are able to keep transportation distances down. This minimises the emission of air pollutants. In addition we reuse our packaging materials – wood and cardboard.

As a family business Lista Office LO places great importance on creating and maintaining good jobs in Switzerland, and naturally at the same time providing modern conditions of employment and excellent standards of safety.

Lista Office LO considers itself part of the community and so we assume responsibilities that extend beyond the company: with local commitments, sponsorship and the “Fredy and Regula Lienhard Foundation”.

Lista Office LO has a system in place for sustainable thinking and action: environmental management is certified to ISO 14001, we are a member of the Swiss Energy Agency for Industry to reduce CO2 and we incorporate all aspects of sustainability in Total Quality Management.
