Ethan Allen Recognized for Sustainable Wood Sourcing
14 November 2024 - 2:30AM
The Sustainable Furnishings Council (SFC) and the National Wildlife
Federation (NWF) recognized Ethan Allen for its wood-sourcing
policies and commitment to sustainable wood used to make the
furniture they sell. Ethan Allen was awarded the designation of
“Most Improved” for 2024, which is given to only one furniture
retailer per year.
The majority of wood sourced by Ethan Allen in
its furniture manufacturing is comprised of certified sustainable
wood. At its Vermont case goods plant, the company also recycles
wood chips and sawdust generated during manufacturing, using the
recycled biomass to power wood-drying kilns and cogenerate
electricity.
“Ethan Allen has a long-standing commitment to
sustainable operations and manufacturing, and this recognition
reaffirms our commitment to responsible wood sourcing,” stated
Farooq Kathwari, Ethan Allen’s Chairman, President and CEO. “We
commend the SFC and NWF’s mission to educate the industry on
responsible practices and to increase consumer awareness, so
customers can weigh a company’s environmental commitment when they
make purchasing decisions.”
Ethan Allen is also Verified Sustainable by
Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers Inc. (AHMI), a recognition that
the company sources wood from responsibly managed Appalachian
forests. For additional information about the company’s wood
sourcing policy, refer to its Investor Relations website at
