Mapping Our Impact
Every hotel stay leaves an impression on guests, communities, and the environment. As the hospitality industry continues to evolve, sustainability is at the forefront of BERMANFALK’s mind. Guided by our core values of reliability, quality, excellence, and a people-first, customer-centric mindset, we take action through initiatives that reduce landfill waste, give back to the environments we rely on, and prioritize long-term impact. Through our partnership with MindClick, their team provides transparent environmental health data on our products and processes. The program helps clients and the broader industry to make more informed, responsible decisions. We believe that what gets measured drives meaningful change. Hospitality is rooted in service, and by prioritizing sustainability in our processes, we demonstrate our care for the end user and sustainable living. See how we put these words into action below.
In 2026, we partnered with One Tree Planted to take a meaningful step toward restoring some of the natural resources our industry depends on. While it’s difficult to quantify the exact number of trees behind every piece of furniture we produce, this partnership allows us to begin giving back in a tangible way. Through annual contributions focused on reforestation efforts in Asia and North America, we’re investing in cleaner air, healthier ecosystems, and a more stable climate. In an industry that relies heavily on wood, every tree planted is a step toward restoring balance and supporting a more sustainable future.

Since 2021, BERMANFALK has maintained a Leader rating in the MindClick Sustainability Assessment Program (MSAP), which evaluates ESG performance across the full product lifecycle using a comprehensive 200 point system. This transparent, data-driven approach reflects our commitment to aligning manufacturing processes with our core values. MindClick helps organizations support CSR reporting, drive innovation, and advance products and spaces that reduce environmental impact and deliver on sustainability commitments.
Our Rating ExplainedWe transitioned from expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam to honeycomb cardboard packaging in 2024 to reduce our environmental impact without compromising product protection. EPS styrofoam is widely used across the industry for its low cost and lightweight properties, but it fragments into many tiny microplastics that contribute to the global waste crisis. Our honeycomb alternative is both recyclable and biodegradable, and has proven to be more effective in protecting products against damage during handling and transit. While no two projects are identical, internal testing across various items and projects shows that our calculated averages for EPS foam diverted from landfills through our packaging initiative are reliable and would align under audit. Now a BERMANFALK standard, honeycomb packaging is more compact, reduces job site waste and cleanup, and supports more responsible material use across projects.
