Sustainability path: from reporting to planning

Flos has established three main pillars that constitute the foundation of its sustainability strategy, as outlined in Flos Sustainability Policy:

Energy and Materials: aware that global challenges are closely linked to energy and materials, respectively interconnected to climate change and circular economy aspects, Flos strives to mitigate and optimise its direct and indirect consumption of these resources.

Development and Wellbeing: Flos puts its workforce, regardless of their role, at the centre of its strategies aiming at cultivating an inspiring, inclusive and motivating working environment.

Heritage and Know-How: Flos’ most valuable asset in the path towards sustainability is strongly related to its heritage of design icons and its technological know-how.
