Chairman's Foreword

An introduction to FISP

I am delighted to be the current chair of the FISP Steering Committee. In the spirit of partnership, I believe in the benefits of collaboration across all our industry sectors to strengthen the implementation and progression towards a more sustainable future. We cannot afford to be complacent and must strive for continuous improvement.

The Steering Committee comprises a cross-sector representation of our members and plays a vital role in ensuring continued evolution and enhancement.

Founded in 2006, FISP is recognised as the leading initiative for the furniture industry and supported by four trade associations: British Furniture Association (BFA); Commercial Interiors UK (CIUK); Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA); and the National Bed Federation (NBF). FISP membership is only achieved following a robust audit process offering an independent verification of a company’s sustainability credentials.

The Steering Committee welcomes feedback and suggestions from the industry. Please do contact us via the website or email.
