Choosing wood for a low environmental impact
Choosing wood products means making a concrete choice for sustainability: compared to alternative materials, wood has a significantly lower carbon footprint, assuming the same production process and life cycle.
This results in greatly reduced CO₂ emissions, directly contributing to the fight against climate change. To achieve these results, it is essential that the wood comes from responsibly managed sources, in accordance with internationally recognized standards such as the FSC® Chain of Custody certification, which ARBOR proudly obtained in 2021.
Carbon Footprint: transparency and awareness
Measuring and certifying the carbon footprint means precisely analyzing a product’s entire life cycle—from production to transport, all the way to disposal. This approach provides clear, verifiable data that are essential for truly reducing environmental impact.
Some pioneering companies have already embarked on this virtuous path, standing out for their commitment and transparency—one of them is ZORDAN.
ZORDAN: sustainability and innovation
ZORDAN, a company based in Valdagno (Northern Italy), is a benchmark in the field of sustainability. Specialized in custom projects for the luxury retail sector, it has developed an advanced system to quantify and certify the carbon footprint of each project.
This approach allows clients to gain greater awareness of the most impactful stages of the production cycle and to take concrete steps to reduce emissions.
A tangible example of this commitment was showcased in a scale model exhibited until 2023 at MUSE – the Science Museum in Trento, where the company’s real strategies for working sustainably were illustrated.
ARBOR’s inspiration to build a better future together
At ARBOR, we look to ZORDAN’s example with great respect and admiration. We consider it a leading company in the sector, capable of combining innovation, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility.
We thank ZORDAN for sharing its journey and for inspiring us on our own path toward increasingly sustainable, low-impact production.
