A sustainable design ethos and practice has never been more important. A leading provider of sustainable furniture solutions, Living Edge recognises this, and the brand’s efforts have seen the brand be recognised as a Certified B Corporation. The move aligns Living Edge with the growing community of businesses committed to meeting social and environmental performance standards, accountability and transparency – an inspiration for the design world.

With a curated collection of local and global furniture and lighting, Living Edge attracts architects, interior designers and design enthusiasts. With an unwavering commitment to empowering quality design whilst creating positive change within the industry, this latest achievement is a culmination of fifteen years of work towards environmental stewardship and a testament to the brand’s visionary mindset.

A portfolio of brands and products that reflect craftsmanship, functionality and durability reveals Living Edge’s commitment to sustainability since its inception in 1998.

Undertaking a B Impact Assessment has provided recognition of Living Edge’s product range, providing them with the tools and information to continuously drive improvement in the future.

Having developed a range of initiatives in support of sustainable practices, Living Edge has proven its value as a Certified B Corporation over the years. For example, the LivingOn sustainability program began in 2008 and includes initiatives such as Furniture for Life (supplying products designed and made to last a lifetime), Live Responsibly (recognising the company’s impact and taking responsibility for all activities whilst maximising positive outcomes) and Think Circular (constantly striving to be a leader in the future circular economy in Australia). LivingOn has since evolved to focus on environmental, social and economic issues.

 “Living Edge is excited to be a key player in seeking and driving change to our economic system for a healthier, greener future.”

“We believe that business can lead the way towards building a better future, and we are proud to be part of a global movement that shares this vision and are deeply passionate about driving change,” says Aidan Mawhinney, CEO of Living Edge. “Living Edge is excited to be a key player in seeking and driving change to our economic system for a healthier, greener future.”

Living Edge has always been committed to balancing profit with purpose and making a tangible, positive impact – earning B Corp Certification marks a deserved recognition of this ethos. Looking forward, Living Edge plans to make a difference in the industry and is now part of a bigger movement working towards building an inclusive and regenerative economy.
