Sustainability at Foliot
Our furniture solutions are rooted in measurable environment impact and a strong spirit of continuous improvement.
Three Pillars. One Commitment.
Responsible manufacturing means more than reducing emissions. It means investing in the people behind the product, maintaining ethical supply chains, and building governance structures that hold us accountable over the long term. Our ESG approach is structured around three verified pillars: Environment, Social, and Governance. Each one is backed by measurable outcomes and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Our Environmental Approach
Long-term value starts with responsible choices. We approach sustainability the same way we approach manufacturing — with a kaizen mindset and a commitment to measurable progress. Our approach is built on three pillars: Circularity, Carbon, and Community.

Waste Management & Circularity
Energy & Emissions
We carefully select materials and engineer products built for durability, consistency, and long-term performance. From recycled wood fibre cores to low-VOC finishes, our approach supports healthier interiors and a longer product lifecycle with reduced environmental impact.
We prioritize the recovery and reuse of by-products to reduce landfill waste and support a more circular manufacturing process. Our approach includes recycling materials, optimizing transportation, and extending product life through replaceable components and continuous process improvement.
Our Quebec facility operates on renewable hydroelectricity and supports responsible manufacturing through low-VOC finishes and efficient production processes. Our engineered wood panels are also modelled at -14.39 kg CO₂e/m², reflecting a carbon-negative material approach.
Governance and Ethics
Carbon Footprint
4.61 kg CO₂e per 50 ft² furniture. Calculation based on full life cycle, cradle to gate.
Energy from Renewable Sources
~70% of our energy needs met by hydroelectricity.
Optimised Transport
All shipment routes are carefully scrutinised and optimised to minimise environmental impact.
Waste Valorized
100% of wood dust reused as biomass. Nothing wasted.
