Craftsmanship and wood have always shaped our lives. Passionate working with this naturally grown material has made us sensitive to sustainable processes and the ecological context over several decades. You can sense this when you live with VENJAKOB furniture. And this can also be seen in our improvement of our climate- and environmental footprint in a continuous and holistic manner. Come with us on our journey to sustainable business.

COUNTER BALANCING

GET THAT FEEL-GOOD FEELING – WITH VENJAKOB

Together with the German national league club Arminia Bielefeld VENJAKOB supports the tree growing campaign „(D)ein Baum für den Teutoburger Wald“ (a/your tree for the Teutoburg Forest). In 2019 we contributed 1905 saplings for a targeted reforestation of the local deciduous woodland. Since 2020 our business premises have also been fully committed to biodiversity thanks to the newly planted bee meadow, which is rich in pollen and nectar, and the natural rainwater catching reservoir.

Even though perfect crafting of natural materials is our trademark: True sustainability begins with the design. Thanks to its timeless appearance, which is carefully thought out and which is lent character through special details, our furniture accompanies you through life for longer. And it even makes it easier for you: Made with quality for generations and reliable functionality.

Where wood is chopped, splinters must fall. We use this to heat our administration buildings and the production spaces - without the use of fossil fuels. Pressed into pellets the wood scraps are burned in a biomass boiler, which satisfies the latest efficiency and environmental standards. With the heat generated energy-efficient radiant heating units are operated in the production space. We even make good use of the waste heat from our compressed air compressors: to dry lacquered surfaces.

Venjakob generates approximately one third of its own electricity requirement with photovoltaic systems. We are also working hard to achieve sustained reduction of our electricity consumption: With intelligent LED lighting systems, energy management systems for our production facilities and compressed air compressor as well as frequency regulators at the extraction units for optimal performance with significantly improved energy efficiency.

High-quality packaging ensures that our furniture reaches you safely. We make sure that the materials are recyclable and e.g. cardboard boxes and plastic film become part of a certified cycle process. We are hedging our bets in terms of clean processes and innovative recycling solutions through cooperation with the sustainable cycle service provider Interzero www.interzero.de.

To keep our CO₂emissions as low as possible, we constantly invest in the fuel efficiency of our own transport fleet. Economical driving training and optimally planned paths for furniture and materials help us and also our suppliers to reduce fuel consumption on all routes. And when we are driving the company car we use hybrid technology.
