Together We Can Lead Positive Change

At Sketch Studios, we are committed to more than just crafting beautiful and functional workplace solutions. We are dedicated to sustainability and environmental responsibility, and we believe in leading by example. Our Sustainable Manufacturing Network is a testament to this commitment, and we invite you to be a part of this transformative journey.

Industry EcoConnect is a collaborative network of like-minded organisations that share our values, ethos, and unwavering commitment to sustainability. Together, we aim to foster a community that promotes and practices sustainable manufacturing and distribution, creating a more responsible and eco-conscious furniture industry across the UK and Europe.

About Us

Our initiative has clear objectives

Foster a Community of Sustainable Collaborators

Our mission extends beyond mere craftsmanship; we're actively building a robust network of manufacturers dedicated to environmental responsibility and sustainable manufacturing practices. Through Industry EcoConnect, we aim to connect with like-minded organisations across the UK and wider Europe region, fostering a collaborative community committed to eco-friendly workplace solutions and sustainable material procurement in the furniture industry.

Enhance Our Sustainability Knowledge

A core aspect of our initiative involves continuous learning and improvement. By engaging with our supply chain and regularly visiting their manufacturing plants, we delve deep into the intricacies of sustainable manufacturing practices. Through these interactions, we gain invaluable insights into green manufacturing practices, carbon footprint reduction strategies, and sustainable material sourcing methods, enhancing our sustainability knowledge and expertise.

Inspire Industry-wide Change

As champions of sustainability, we aspire to activate transformative change across the furniture industry. Through our Sustainable Manufacturing Network, we actively advocate for the adoption of sustainable practices and encourage fellow manufacturers to pursue B Corp certification. By leading by example and sharing our experiences, we aim to inspire industry-wide change, driving a collective shift towards a more responsible and eco-conscious furniture industry.

Alignment with B Corp Certification

As a B Corp certified company under the umbrella of Fourfront Group, which encompasses Sketch Studios, we understand the significance of promoting sustainable practices and fostering alliances with like-minded companies and fellow B Corp organisations.

By visiting supply chain partners and understanding their commitment to sustainability, we align our actions and recommendations with B Corp principles, setting a remarkable example for others to follow. This commitment reflects not only the values of Sketch Studios but also those of our parent company, Fourfront Group, as we strive to contribute to a more sustainable and responsible business ecosystem across Europe.

Our Impact is B Corp Certified
