“We are very proud to receive this certification, which proves our ethically sustainable productive philosophy, featured by the attention and respect of the environment in every stage of our wide Made in Italy production” said Giuseppe Pedrali, CEO of Pedrali Spa.
The global plan towards the environmental respect, sustainability and quality includes ISO 14001 and other significant product certifications such as GREENGUARD and FSC® C114358; process certification ISO 9001, to prove international standards of Quality System.
GREENGUARD certification provides the guarantee that products designed for indoor environments comply with strict emission limits and contribute to have healthier interior environments. Certification ensures that a product has exceeded some of the world's most stringent and low-emission standards for low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions within the buildings.
As a testimony of the commitment to protect the environment, Pedrali has also obtained FSC® C114358 Chain of Custody certification that guarantees the origin of wood from forests managed correctly and with responsibility, according to strict environmental, social and economic standards. This means that Pedrali for its production chooses to use material from certified FSC forests, fully respecting the territory. The company also uses water-based varnishes, ensuring excellent chemical and physical-resistant performances and curbing the emission of volatile organic substances reducing the impact on the environment.
ISO 9001 certification implies that the requirements are applied to all the business processes to be documented through attentive paperwork (quality manual, procedures, instructions) and all the results of "making quality" in the company must be recorded on forms (quality registration documents).
The products of the collection comply with UNI-EN 16139:2013 European Standards which determine the resistance, durability and safety requirements of chairs for contract use.
