Environment

Caring for children is caring for the planet

We recognise our role in making the world a better place, and that our actions can make a real difference. We will continue to prioritise sustainability to create a more sustainable future for all of us.

Steps we’ve taken in the right direction

In a world with a growing population, the well-being of children is instrumental to ensure sustainable societies. This is why we do what we can to be socially and environmentally responsible. This is a work in progress, but our sustainability strategy aspires to make Stokke the obvious choice for parents who want to see change.

Since 2020, sustainability has been one of our three core value propositions, aimed at making a significant impact on children and families while minimizing our environmental impact. Our Sustainability Strategy is based on five of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our design philosophy

Grow-with-the-child design & functionality

The most sustainable products are those you do not have to replace. That's why we use high-quality and long lasting materials, combined with grow-with-your-child functionality and timeless design.

Our main material is durable and renewable: Wood accounts for 46% of our materials, and we use it to make high quality, long lasting children furniture with timeless design. Based on this, our products benefit from a long user phase and some of our products have been in use for decades. To further extend the lifespan of our products, we provide stroller repair services in many countries and are working on expanding this service to other product categories. In 2022, we piloted our first rental model of Tripp Trapp® accessories in Germany called Stokke Start.

Our Design Guidelines

Reduce & improve materials

We use recycled, recyclable, renewable and biobased material while reducing weight and waste to create less emissions.

Design for the full lifecycle

We reduce the amount of materials to improve recycling and make it easier for products to be repaired or refurbished.

Consider certification schemes

Certifications introduce benefits and simplify communication by following internationally recognized standards.

Manufacturing location matters

Short supply chains and the type of energy used locally during productions reduce emissions.

Optimize packaging

Optimize packaging with low emission impact and avoid unnecessary usage of material and space during transport.

1

Wood

We prioritize responsible forest management and manufacture our strong and durable wood products in Europe, establishing traceability throughout our wood supply chain.

2

Thermoplastics

A lightweight yet strong alternative to traditional materials. We are researching bio-based and recycled materials with the same durability, strength, and design flexibility.

3

Cotton

We carefully select high-quality cotton which is durable & comfy for little ones. We currently use about 66% of OCS-certified organic cotton in our products.

4

Packaging

We're committed to minimalize our environmental impact by using materials with a low footprint for packaging. Up to 99% of our packaging consists of cardboard.

5

Polyester

Our goal is to increase the use of recycled polyester to 60% by the year 2030 to reduce plastic waste and decrease reliance on non-renewable resources.

Chemicals

We prioritize safety. Most of our textiles are certified by Oeko-Tex. In addition we use PFC-free coatings on many of our products to reduce environmental impact and improve safety.
