Improving sustainability throughout the furniture supply chain

Membership

The Furniture Industry Sustainability Programme is a modular audit-based certification open to all organisations across the furniture supply chain, including materials and components suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, fit-out companies, and retailers.

If you are interested in joining the scheme, please complete the application form below and send with a copy of your ISO 14001 certificate (if applicable) to info@fispfurniture.com.

One of our auditors will contact you to provide you with information on the criteria to review internally and discuss any questions you have about the scheme. Once you are comfortable with your response to the applicable criteria, suggest some suitable dates for an on-site audit assessment; for manufacturers, this is usually at your primary manufacturing facility, and for distributors, this will be at your head office.

After a successfully completed audit, you will be issued a confidential audit report and a certificate, which will be publicly displayed on the website as part of your profile and contain information about your activity and markets that potential customers can search for. Audit certificates are usually valid for two years for a company already certified to ISO 14001 or one year for those without ISO 14001 certification.

FISP Certified

When members are ready to apply for certification, FIRA International conducts an extensive audit to establish compliance with the criteria. Success leads to certification and Full FISP membership.

Full FISP Membership

Full membership is achieved once you have successfully achieved FISP certified status.

Membership helps to differentiate you from the competition, it is a powerful marketing tool and allows you to use FISP in tender processes and to claim points for SKA rating projects.

Focusing on Sustainability

Sustainability is an essential part of successful business. Sales depend on customers seeing that sustainability is at the heart of business whilst tenders often require proof that sustainable considerations are met.

Every client is unique

FISP is designed to ensure that each individual client drives the changes necessary to achieve its individual business aims: the service is tailored to your needs, whatever stage you are at on the road to excellence.
