In Unison with the Environment

At Unison, we understand that working in partnership with the environment is sound business practice and sustainability is an integral part of our brand. 

We deal with manufacturers that are recognised as industry leaders in environmentally responsible product design and manufacturing processes.  Through Herman Miller we offer a product range that is based on “Cradle-to-Cradle” design.  This is a way of designing that aims to eliminate the concept of waste, and create new business opportunities for the re-use of office furniture materials.  This process ensures that chemicals used in materials are benign; that products can be easily dissembled at the end of their useful life for recycling; and that products contain recycled content and can be recycled again after their useful life.

Our key suppliers all operate within quality and environmental standards, and leaders such as Herman Miller are targeting zero carbon footprint in all aspects of their business by 2025.

All our suppliers have established, documented and maintain a quality system to the internationally recognized ISO 9001-and ISO 14001 standard.  This registration is maintained by SGS International, which provides quality system registration services throughout the world.  The scope of this registration includes the design, manufacture and physical distribution of wood and non-wood furniture.  This registration helps to assure our products are the result of proven processes and consistently meet all applicable specifications.  Registration also requires ongoing review of the quality system with an emphasis on continuous improvement. 

Our service offering includes leasing options that meet the changing needs of businesses and allows customers to add or upgrade furniture at certain points during their leasing term.  This also ensures that when businesses no longer require our office furnishings we can take full responsibility to ensure that they are reused, refurbished, or recycled rather than left for the landfill.  Our key suppliers all have Product Stewardship programmes in place, encouraging both re-use and recycling.

In Unison with Design

Design is at the heart of what we do at Unison.  Clever design solves real problems, creates positive productivity and is flexible enough to adapt to changes in the future.  Unison has long standing relationships with the world’s most innovative manufacturers.  Herman Miller is widely credited with inventing the office cubicle in the 1960’s and has remained an innovative leader ever since – changing the office landscape in the 1980’s with the world’s first ergonomic task chair, innovative benching solutions and in later years a focus on the lightest, dematerialized product at attainable prices.  Other suppliers such as Walter Knoll, Segis and Howe are at the forefront of design in their areas.  

Our extensive experience in working in the commercial interiors industry means we bring to Unison quality products backed by research and innovation along with a unique understanding of the requirements to make a workplace really work – today and in the future.
