OUR COMMITMENT TO THE EARTH
As a family-owned business, it is highly important to us to preserve our planet for future generations. Eco-responsible practices have been at the core of our company philosophy since it was founded more than 35 years ago. We are a proud member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council and continuously strive to find new ways to improve our manufacturing practices to have a positive impact on our planet.
Built to last = less waste
At Huntington House we are committed to building products that last a lifetime, using only the finest materials and time-tested manufacturing techniques. The longer our products last, the less sofas make it to the landfill.
Locally resourced
At Huntington House we have resisted the trend to reduce costs by moving production overseas. All of our products are crafted by hand at our headquarters in Hickory, NC by highly skilled American workers. To reduce waste incurred in transportation, we first seek materials that are produced locally, then domestically, and finally internationally.
Conserving natural resources
We have instituted company-wide initiatives to reduce the amount of electricity, water, and paper that we consume. We also continue to seek opportunities to reduce the amount of waste materials that we generate as a result of our operations.
Recycling
We recycle or reuse as many materials as possible. We currently recycle paper, plastic, aluminum, cardboard, foam, fiber, fabric scraps, wood scraps and ink cartridges.
