Climate Agreement Of The Furniture Industry

In 2016 the DGM (German quality control association) initiated the ”Climate Agreement for the Furniture Industry” and nobilia is an established member. In order for the CO2 footprint to gradually be reduced and ideally neutralized, it is important for nobilia to take a pioneering role in making this topic public and raising awareness.

Emission Class DGM (German Quality Control Association)

Having met all award requirements, nobilia’s kitchen furniture was awarded the highest emissions class of A by the Deutschen Gütegemeinschaft Möbel e.V. (German quality control association). The RAL emission label informs consumers about emission of harmful substances and protects them from health hazards.

GoGreen Certificate

The entire mail and package dispatch is taken care of by the CO2 neutral GoGreen services of the German postal service and DHL. With this, nobilia offsets the CO2 emissions created during transport. The offset is certified through an independent certification company (Societé Général de Surveillance, SGS) according to ISO 14064.
