The ANSI/BIFMA e3 Furniture Sustainability Standard is a comprehensive, multi-attribute standard for sustainability in the office furniture industry. The standard provides direction to manufacturers in the areas of materials, energy and atmosphere, human and ecosystem health, and corporate social responsibility. Third party certification (called LEVEL®) is based on an audit of the corporation, the manufacturing site, and the specific products. ECD’s products are LEVEL 2 and can contribute to LEED and WELL projects. 

ECD used the following methods for its product grouping approach for LEVEL certification:

  • The combination of base product and options with the highest volume of sales or anticipated highest volume for a new product within the product category/subcategories as defined in Annex A. It is not necessary to consider the full range of options available on the representative sample for purposes
    of the evaluation. Notwithstanding, all products of a family group are expected to meet the intent of the credits.

 

  • Worst‐case sample selection as defined in the BIFMA LEVEL Standard (v 2019 ) – Section 4.
  • See our LEVEL 2 Certification HERE.

ECD is proud to have earned Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) certification, a recognition that reflects our commitment to creating healthier indoor environments. This certification confirms that our practices meet established standards for maintaining low levels of indoor pollutants and supporting a safe, healthy breathing environment. By emphasizing reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs), proper ventilation, and careful control of contaminants such as mold and chemical emissions, ECD helps ensure that the spaces we work on promote comfort, safety, and long-term well-being for occupants.
