RH Chairs reduce manufacturing CO2 emissions

RH Chairs are constantly striving to increase the performance of our chairs while decreasing the effect on our environment. We were one of the first seating manufacturers to achieve EPD certification for our products which takes us to ISO 14025-one of the highest levels of “environmental friendliness” available.

RH have now taken this one step further. We have reduced the CO2 emissions created in the production of RH Extend and Logic 400 by over 30% in the last year. This means that these products are even more environmentally friendly. Couple that with our 10 year warranty and replaceable seat & back pads and you truly have a chair that you can promote as a sustainable, environmentally friendly, long term investment.

where you can also download our EPD documentation to find out about our
climate declarations and how emissions are measured.

Now is the time to invest in your people’s skills

Employment Minister, Sir Reg Empey, has urged businesses that now is the time to invest in the skills of their employees.

The Minister was speaking to 41 businesses, schools and voluntary organisations with the prestigious Investors in People (IiP) accreditation. IiP has long been acknowledged as the most successful framework for business improvement through people. It helps organisations of every size, sector and location to compete and succeed through improved people performance.

At the Hillsborough Castle celebration event, Sir Reg said: “Now is the time to invest in people. Experience has shown that companies that invest in the development of their people during times of economic downturn are in the strongest position to gain competitive advantage in recovery. It is those companies that have that all important edge. In fact, research shows that companies that invest in the skills of their staff are two and half times more likely to survive.”

“In a rapidly changing economy it is often easy to forget that businesses realise their ambitions through their people. The importance of local businesses investing in their people is now more relevant than ever, given the downturn we now find ourselves in. The uptake of IiP by businesses in Northern Ireland is extremely encouraging for the local economy, and should serve as an example of the bottom-line business benefits of IiP to all other employers.”

RH Chairs Make it a Perfect Ten

Leading ergonomic seating designer and manufacturer RH Chairs has won the award for Ergonomics Excellence, presented by FIRA – the Furniture Industry Research Association – for an unprecedented tenth consecutive time.

RH becomes the first company in the world to reach this remarkable goal. FIRA’s judging panel were particularly impressed by RH’s ongoing commitment to ergonomic design across the firm’s entire range of task, reception and meeting room chairs.

Commenting on the award, UK Managing Director Jorgen Josefsson said: ‘We’re obviously delighted to make history in this way. What is especially pleasing for us is to be recognised by FIRA who themselves uphold the very highest commitment to ergonomic excellence.’
