The National Bed Federation has been rewarded for its work on environmental, social and governance initiatives by winning a top award.
The NBF took home the ESG Initiative of the Year prize in the Trade Association Awards 2024, which recognises the best of the UK association sector.
Over the past decade, the NBF has actively encouraged and supported its members towards a more sustainable future and is committed to continuing this journey in 2024 and beyond.
The judges were keen to commend the NBF for its longstanding commitment to delivering impactful sustainability projects and initiatives for the bed sector.
The NBF highlighted three key projects that were undertaken during the award period. These include the development of EcoDesign Principles for Mattresses and a practical EcoDesign Assessment Toolkit to facilitate implementation; the launch of an Innovate UK part-funded project to develop a new cleanliness of filling methodology and test fit for reused and recycled fillings and the facilitation of the launch of the Mattress Recycling Association and its Register of Approved Mattress Recyclers (RAMR).
