The winner of the Bed Industry Awards Sustainability Award was revealed at last night’s Bed Show gala dinner.
Hypnos won the award after demonstrating activity and progress on all the award’s criteria: product design, procurement, process improvement, packaging, transport, waste and energy, end of life, employee and customer engagement and corporate social responsibility. It was a compelling narrative and shining industry example of the need to take as broad an approach to sustainability as possible. Notable achievements include 10 years of carbon neutral; circularly designed mattresses; renewable and recyclable plastic packaging; direct home delivery service; mattress recycling scheme; social enterprise projects and a new sustainability partnership with Plant Mark / Eden Project.
‘The annual awards are industry-renowned for recognising the standout companies in the bed sector. In a year of change, we congratulate all those who put themselves forward to be judged, and celebrate all the brilliant finalists and award winners,’ said David Moffitt, NBF president.
The Sustainability Award was judged by David Fitzsimons, Oakdene Hollins and European Remanufacturing Council director; Amy Peace of Innovate UK; and Professor Martin Charter, University for the Creative Arts.
