Sustainability in interiors transcends style and functionality. It encompasses the full lifecycle of materials and products — from sourcing and manufacturing to indoor environmental quality and end-of-life considerations.

Key considerations for Diito include:

• Material provenance and quality: prioritizing renewable, recycled, and non-toxic materials.
• Ethical production practices: assessing environmental impact, social responsibility, and labor standards.
• Indoor health and well-being: selecting products with low VOC emissions and certifications such as OEKO-TEX and Greenguard.
• Longevity and adaptability: promoting products that endure, can be reused, or enjoy a second life.

As a bridge between visionary suppliers and discerning clients, we strive to offer choices that minimize environmental impact while enhancing health, comfort, and aesthetic excellence.

Diito aligns its sustainability approach with internationally recognized frameworks and European standards, including:

• UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 12 – Responsible consumption and production, SDG 13 – Climate action, SDG 8 – Decent work and economic growth.
• EU Green Deal & Circular Economy Action Plan.
• Regulations on VOC emissions, chemical safety (REACH), and product transparency.
• EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities – guiding investment and procurement decisions.

These frameworks allow us to set meaningful, actionable goals while staying aligned with evolving best practices in interior design and luxury furnishing.

Sustainable Supplier Selection

Our procurement process prioritizes:

• Suppliers with certifications and verified sustainability labels (B Corp, EU Ecolabel, FSC, Oeko-Tex, etc.).
• Locally or regionally produced goods to reduce transport emissions.
• Materials that are recycled, renewable, or low-impact.
• Brands that actively report on their social and environmental performance.

As of 2025, we have audited over 130 key suppliers for their sustainability credentials, ensuring our selection reflects both quality and responsibility.

Client Guidance & Awareness

We empower our clients to make informed, conscious choices by:

• Showcasing sustainable alternatives across our showrooms.
• Prioritizing health-sensitive spaces, such as children’s rooms, with low-VOC materials and certified textiles.
• Transparently communicating our brands’ sustainability commitments and material choices.

Internal Practices & Continuous Improvement

While our operational footprint is modest, we continuously seek to:

• Promote reuse through the sale or donation of showroom samples.
• Reduce waste and packaging wherever possible.
• Encourage small, high-impact practices such as responsible lighting and energy

Sustainability is an evolving journey. Diito actively monitors progress by:

• Tracking the percentage of suppliers with sustainability policies and certifications.
• Identifying product categories for which more sustainable alternatives can be introduced.
• Gradually implementing a Supplier Code of Conduct.
• Enhancing internal awareness through training and communication initiatives.

Next steps include a dedicated sustainability page on our website and further integration of responsible sourcing into our sales tools and client presentations.

At Diito, sustainability is not just a promise—it is a measurable commitment. In 2025, we undertook a comprehensive review of our supplier network, analyzing 180 key suppliers across furniture, lighting, and textiles.

This audit combined publicly available information, direct supplier disclosures, and certification verification to assess how sustainability is integrated into each supplier’s operations and products.

Our analysis focused on several dimensions:

• Formal sustainability policies at the company level
• Certified environmental and social standards
• Use of natural, recycled, or renewable materials
• Local or regional production practices
• Indoor health and chemical safety standards

Key Highlights (2025)

• 180 suppliers assessed
• 93 (52%) have a formal sustainability policy

This data-driven approach allows Diito to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement in our supply chain. By quantifying our suppliers’ sustainability commitments, we can make informed procurement decisions, provide clients with transparent guidance, and encourage the adoption of more sustainable practices across our network.
