The Cassina Perspective on Sustainability

 

Cassina’s commitment to sustainability is a constantly evolving endeavour, the subject of non-stop research that is driven by the company’s values. This translates to an integrated vision in which sustainability practices characterise every area of operation to best align with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) requirements.

 

Thanks to its pioneering mindset, Cassina invests in improving the environmental performance of its production process and in the creation of products designed to last over time, capable of best representing Italian manufacturing excellence.

 

At the same time, the brand promotes initiatives to enhance the well-being of its people and to strengthen its relationship with the local area, recognising corporate social responsibility as an essential value for genuinely sustainable development.

 

Finally, Cassina operates under a governance model founded on the principles of honesty, integrity and transparency, aimed at promoting responsible management of corporate activities and creating value for its stakeholders. To ensure the effectiveness of this system, Cassina has introduced an Organisation, Management and Control Model in accordance with Legislative Decree 231/2001.

 

Rethinking the future of design, adopting a more responsible attitude towards the environment and society is a priority for Cassina.”

The Cassina Perspective on Product

 

Cassina products consistently embody the perfect union of artisan excellence and innovation.

Cassina LAB was launched in 2020, a project born from a collaboration with POLI.design at the Milan Polytechnic, to promote a more conscious design process. This constantly evolving concept is achieved through identification of innovative materials to be employed in the manufacture of products, with an increasing focus on their disassemblability and on the development of designs offering features that enhance people’s well-being.

Cassina's design philosophy on product sustainability

 

Timeless design: the best design embodies values, such as manufacturing excellence, innovation, and enhancement of the culture of design. A natural link to sustainability arises from these principles.

Circularity: a design concept oriented toward the selection of innovative materials based on circularity criteria that focuses special attention on product disassemblability, to facilitate the recovery and recycling of materials at the end of their life-cycle.

Well-being: contributing to improvement in the quality of lived-in spaces through targeted design solutions, for example in the bedroom, through the use, in some models, of a material engineered to contribute to the reduction of acoustic reverberation near the bed’s headboard, and upholstery designed to promote air circulation inside the bedframe.

Circularity measurement

 

To optimise its design and production phases, Cassina employs the CircularTool®, a tool that makes it possible to collect technical data, quantitatively measure some circularity characteristics of its products and analyse key indicators related to disassemblability, recyclability, and end-of-life scenarios.

The Tool is based on constantly updated technical production standards and specifications, and provides a scientific basis for guiding design choices that target the reduction of environmental impacts.

Aligned with the foremost international standards applicable to the circular economy, the CircularTool® is certified by an independent body and makes it possible to obtain assessments compliant with the ISO 14021:2021, ISO 59004:2024, ISO 59020:2024, ISO 59040:2024 and ISO 14009:2024 standards.

Our contribution to giving a new perspective to the product.

Waste management

 

Consistent with Haworth Lifestyle’s waste management objectives, Cassina is actively working to reduce waste at the source, maximise recycling and minimise environmental impact. This is reflected in the goal of “Zero Waste to Landfill” by 2025 for its manufacturing facilities.

To limit the amount of waste generated during the production cycle, company intervention begins at the design phase by optimising the consumption of raw materials, valorising unavoidable offcuts and implementing rigorous, selective waste segregation. Cassina also passes on unusable leather remnants to companies specialising in small leather goods.
