I get this question a lot from landscape architects and city planners, so I’ll give you a straight answer: yes. Our urban benches are backed by certifications, not just eco-friendly language. The exact credentials depend on the bench range, but most of our product lines carry at least one of the following three.
First, all timber used in our slatted benches comes from FSC Chain-of-Custody certified suppliers. That means the wood can be traced from forest to finished bench, which is important if you want to avoid contributing to illegal or unsustainable logging. We can provide certificate numbers for the specific batch when you order.
Second, our manufacturing facility is ISO 14001 certified. This is an environmental management certification. In practice, it means our energy use, waste sorting, water consumption, and chemical handling are audited by a third party every year. It is not a one-time badge; it forces us to keep improving.
Third, many of our powder-coated steel and aluminum benches are tested to meet GREENGUARD Gold emission criteria. That matters because public seating gets hot in the sun, and you do not want finishes releasing unnecessary VOCs into the air people breathe. We also use recycled steel content in several ranges, and while that is verified through mill certificates rather than a formal product certification, it adds another layer of material responsibility.
If you are working on a project with strict sustainability targets, tell your supplier which certification you need—FSC timber, ISO 14001, or low-emission compliance—and ask for the actual certificate. We are happy to share documentation because we would rather be checked than just trusted.
