Social Sustainability
Social sustainability
We believe that sustainability is not just about materials and the environment, but also about people.
Social sustainability is a cornerstone of how we run our business, ensuring care and respect for everyone involved in our value chain – from suppliers to employees and the communities around us.
We take pride in ensuring that everyone working with our products operates under fair conditions. This applies to both our own team and the suppliers we collaborate with. We work with partners who share our values and provide their employees with safe working conditions, fair wages, and respectful treatment. No one should endure unsafe or unfair circumstances in the production of our furniture. While the process of examining our suppliers’ practices has only just begun and is a significant undertaking for a small Danish production company, we are fully committed to the journey.
We are part of the Confederation of Danish Industry and the East Jutland Joiners’ Guild, striving to help preserve traditional craftsmanship in Denmark and integrate it into the modern design world. This creates jobs and contributes to the development of new Danish talent, who have the opportunity to master and carry forward their skills. At Snedkergaarden, we regularly host interns and apprentices and dedicate time to passing on our knowledge.
We believe in the power of diversity. We strive to create an inclusive workplace where there is room for everyone, regardless of background or gender. We value individuality and believe it fosters innovation, leading to better solutions for everyone – and a better work environment. Stop by Snedkergaarden, and you will see a true cross-section of humanity, reflecting a mix of ages, genders, and unique quirks.
We don’t just build furniture; we build relationships. Our goal is to establish long-term partnerships with suppliers, customers, and employees based on trust and mutual respect. This not only ensures stable business relationships but also creates a sustainable foundation for everyone involved. By deeply understanding each other’s daily operations, we can work together to drive improvements across the board.
