Living Edge Sustainability Actions

LivingOn program launched

Born in 2008, LivingOn is our sustainability program. The LivingOn program began in 2008 with a recognition that our commitment to sustainability needed to be bigger than supplying product that met certain industry standards.

Carbon neutral operations

Living Edge has maintained carbon neutral operations since 2017. That means we quantify the scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions that are generated by our operations and offset them through the purchase of Verified Carbon Standard carbon credits. Our annual emissions inventory is verified by Pangolin Associates.

Freight emissions quantified

In 2009, Living Edge became the first Herman Miller dealer globally to quantify and offset the freight emissions generated from importing Herman Miller product.

Electric vehicles added

We have introduced one hybrid and one fully electric vehicle to our light vehicle fleet and we plan to replace more ICE vehicles as they reach the end of their lease.

12,500 chairs redeployed

Since 2020, Living Edge has helped major organisations recondition and redeploy or resell over 12,500 Herman Miller task chairs approaching the end of their 12-year warranty. We estimate that this has diverted 234 tonnes of furniture from landfill and avoided 586 tonnes of CO2-e from raw material production if the chairs had been replaced.

Lifecycle and Relive developed

We have developed Lifecycle, an innovative furniture-as-a-service procurement that we believe is a first in Australia. Lifecycle includes an inherent product stewardship commitment. Relive is a sustainability program that aims to create a second life for authentic, original, and sustainable furniture.

Waste recycled in FY22

In FY22 we recycled 69% of the waste generated across our operations and we are striving to increase this amount every year.
