BIFMA’s Level is the multi-attribute, sustainability standard and third-party certification program for the furniture industry. It has been created to deliver the most open and transparent means of evaluating and communicating the environmental and social impacts of furniture products in the built environment. Level takes into account a company’s social actions, energy usage, material selection, and human and ecosystem health impacts, addressing how a product is sustainable from multiple perspectives. The assessment was conducted by LGA, an approved BIFMA third-party certifier.
