Hooker seeking EFEC certification
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 20, 2008
Martinsville, Va. — Hooker Furniture and subsidiaries Sam Moore and Bradington-Young are planning to obtain registration in the American Home Furnishings Alliance's environmental program, Enhancing Furniture's Environmental Culture or EFEC.
Designed for furniture producers, EFEC stresses better management of resources and raw materials, energy conservation and reduction of environmental impact on a facility-by-facility basis and through an approach of continuous improvement.
Late last year, Hooker formed a Sustainability Steering Committee to guide the company and its divisions through the process of developing a sustainability strategy and mission statement. Alan Cole, Hooker executive vice president-upholstery, heads the committee.
"We are just beginning the journey and have by no means arrived, but we are committed to continuous improvement and a meaningful, diligent pursuit of environmental stewardship," Cole said.
