Foliot Furniture is proud to announce it has earned the Bronze Medal status from EcoVadis, one of the world’s most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. This distinction places Foliot in the top 20% of over 90,000 companies assessed worldwide, highlighting its deep and growing commitment to building a more sustainable future across operations in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Strengthening the Foundation for the Future

Achieving EcoVadis Bronze status reflects a significant internal effort led by Foliot’s ESG Committee and leadership team. Over the past year, the company conducted a comprehensive review of its environmental, social, and governance practices—aligning them with international benchmarks and long-term business goals.

This process included developing new policies and performance indicators based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), enhancing documentation, and prioritizing transparency across all sustainability efforts. With over 700 hours of dedicated work, eight formal committee sessions, and approximately 600 pages of structured evidence, Foliot has transformed its ESG approach into a measurable, accountable framework for continuous improvement.

Milestones on the Path to Progress

As part of its ESG transformation, Foliot has reached several key milestones that reflect both ambition and action:

A Future-Focused Vision Rooted in Action

“This recognition validates the work we’ve done, but more importantly, it builds the structure for the work ahead,” said Vincent Auclair, EHS Director and ESG Committee member. “ESG is not a project—it’s how we do business.”

At Foliot, sustainability is not a checkbox or a temporary fad—it’s a mindset, a method, and a mandate. From product design and material sourcing to manufacturing operations and community partnerships, environmental, social, and governance principles are now deeply integrated into the company’s day-to-day decisions and long-term strategies.

The Bronze status from EcoVadis is more than a milestone—it’s a mirror reflecting the discipline, rigor, and teamwork behind Foliot’s sustainability transformation. It validates the policies, processes, and performance indicators the company has implemented to align with global frameworks like the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). It also recognizes the culture shift taking place—one where cross-functional teams are united by a shared sense of responsibility and a drive to continually raise the bar.

Across departments and facilities, employees are embracing ESG not as a corporate obligation, but as a collective ambition. Their efforts are shaping a more transparent, resilient, and forward-looking organization—one that is not only reacting to change but helping to lead it.

And this is just the beginning.

Building Momentum and Shaping Tomorrow

This milestone is both an external validation and an internal rallying point. It reinforces Foliot’s commitment to doing business with integrity, to pushing for progress where it matters most, and to staying aligned with evolving global standards.

Above all, it reaffirms Foliot’s purpose: to design, build, and deliver furniture solutions that create lasting value. This milestone is not only an external validation of the company’s progress, but also a reminder of the impact that purpose continues to have—on people, communities, and the planet.
