Sustainability specific resources

In recent decades, awareness of our environmental impact has grown, reinforcing the need for responsible business practices that protect natural resources for future generations. At Via Seating, sustainability is not just a consideration—it is an essential pillar woven into our business strategies, partnerships & product designs. While environmental stewardship is at the heart of our efforts, we recognize that true sustainability also encompasses economic responsibility & social well-being within our organization & the communities we serve.
As demand for sustainable furniture continues to rise, we are committed to delivering high-quality, environmentally responsible seating solutions that meet our customers’ expectations for both performance & affordability. Through innovative, sustainable design, we continuously seek ways to reduce our ecological footprint, integrate resource-efficient materials & implement responsible manufacturing practices.
Sustainability is a three-dimensional commitment—balancing environmental impact, economic viability & social responsibility. Progress in all three areas is essential to achieving a lasting human-ecosystem equilibrium. This statement defines our vision & strategies for continuous improvement, ensuring that Via Seating remains a leader in sustainable innovation for years to come.

 

Environment

Nestled in the breathtaking high desert valley of Northern Nevada, Via Seating is surrounded by some of the most stunning natural landscapes in the world—from the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe to the rugged beauty of Mount Rose. This region is home to incredible wildlife, including majestic wild horse herds, which roam freely across the open terrain. We recognize that preserving these natural treasures requires a commitment to reducing pollution & protecting our local ecosystem.
By eliminating waste & emissions, we can help safeguard our air, water & wildlife for generations to come. One of the key ways we are reducing our impact is through an increased focus on domestic sourcing, which minimizes packaging waste & toxic emissions from long-haul transportation. Our ultimate goal is to achieve zero waste & emissions, and while we work toward that, we remain dedicated to safe & responsible waste disposal.
We actively monitor our emissions & set ambitious, achievable targets to continuously reduce our greenhouse gas output. Our promise is simple: to do everything we can to protect the extraordinary landscapes & wildlife that make our region so special, ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment for all.

Economy

Sustainable practices do more than protect the environment—they also drive cost savings, job creation & economic growth. By reducing expenditures on water, energy & natural resources, we can reinvest in innovation, workforce development & long-term stability. Enhancing efficiency across our business operations is key to achieving these sustainability goals. Over the reporting period, we have optimized inbound shipping, streamlined logistics & implemented a just-in-time inventory system to minimize waste & maximize operational effectiveness.
Our centralized warehousing & reduced inventory costs translate to less waste & greater financial efficiency, allowing us to allocate resources where they matter most. A major factor in this success is our strategic shift toward domestic sourcing, with a significant portion of our materials & components now coming from U.S. manufacturers. This investment not only supports American businesses but also strengthens our nation’s economy, creates jobs & promotes greater manufacturing independence. By prioritizing sustainability & domestic partnerships, we are building a more resilient, future-focused supply chain while reinforcing our commitment to responsible business practices.

Society

At Via Seating, the safety, health & well-being of our employees & the public are our top priorities. We are dedicated to continuously improving our health & safety practices with the ultimate goal of achieving zero injuries, illnesses & incidents in our workplace.
As awareness grows around the chemical composition of manufacturing materials, so does the demand for greater transparency—a challenge that impacts manufacturers worldwide. We embrace this challenge by upholding the highest standards in material safety & responsible production. Our customers deserve complete confidence in the products they bring into their spaces, which is why we are committed to ensuring that every Via Seating chair is safe to use & designed with minimal environmental impact.
