A tree binds around 10 to 20 kilograms of CO2 per year and thus makes a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gases. Carbon also remains stored in the parquet, while the vital oxygen is released into the environment. As forests in Europe are predominantly managed sustainable, we have decided to promote reforestation in the Global South. Together with our partner Grow my Tree, we plant thousands of trees every year to provide new habitats for animals, create jobs for the local population and make an active contribution to climate protection.

Every tree counts!

What makes parquet so sustainable?

Solid parquet in particular has the edge here!

Solid parquet is a sustainable floor covering as it is made from natural resources such as wood. In contrast, PVC, laminate and other synthetic floor coverings are made from petroleum products, which has a negative impact on the environment. Unlike solid parquet, floor coverings such as laminate do not have a positive effect on the indoor climate. Parquet absorbs moisture when humidity is high and releases it again when dry. Unlike vinyl flooring or laminate, solid parquet and high-quality multi-layer parquet can be sanded down several times instead of having to be completely replaced. However, it is important that the parquet is produced from sustainable managed forests and in accordance with environmental standards.

Reconditioning of parquet and floorboards

How high-quality parquet floors last for generations

A key feature of classic parquet and plank flooring is its durability. With the right care, high-quality parquet can last for several decades, even generations. The ability to sand, partially repair and re-sand parquet floors makes them a long-term companion in any home. This restorability reduces the need for new purchases and thus minimises the consumption of resources. Consequently, the longevity of parquet not only reflects economic benefits, but also promotes a sustainable lifestyle. By choosing parquet, homeowners and builders are opting for a floor covering that combines beauty, durability and environmental awareness.

FSC® – Bembé is certified

To protect our forests

FSC-Zertifikat für verantwortungsvolle Waldwirtschaft

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is an independent, globally active organization founded in 1993 that stands for sustainable forest management. The FSC® label is based on ten principles and 56 indicators and enables consumers to actively contribute to sustainable forest utilization. Products with the FSC® label therefore stand for the use of forests in accordance with social, economic and ecological needs and for the responsible use of recycled materials – for the benefit of present and future generations.

FEP Parquet Refinishable Program

Initiative for durable parquet floors

The ‘FEP Parquet Refinishable Programme’ sets new standards in the sustainability of parquet flooring. Launched by the European Federation of the Parquet Industry (FEP), it promotes the durability and environmental friendliness of parquet.

The Certificate identifies parquet floors with sufficiently thick wear layers for multiple finishes. Our solid and multi-layer parquet fulfill the requirements: a minimum top layer thickness of 2.5 mm for factory-finished products and 3.2 mm for unfinished products, which guarantees a long service life.

The Real Wood certificate

A seal as a guarantee for real wood

If you are looking for real wood flooring – be it solid or multi-layer parquet, look out for the ‘Real Wood’ symbol. There is a particular risk of confusion between real wood and laminate flooring with a wood decor. The latter are not made of real wood and therefore cannot be sanded and renovated.

To make it easier to identify original products, only the solid and multilayer real wood floors bear the ‘Real Wood’ logo. This guarantees the authenticity of the product and assures you that you have chosen the right product. The disposal of wood also consumes significantly less energy than floor coverings such as laminate or vinyl.

Creditreform creditworthiness certificate

Crefozert: Excellent credit rating

Before the certificate is awarded, companies are examined in detail by Creditreform for their economic organisation, the existence of financial securities and the sustainability of services in the material area.

This means that Bembé is now one of just under two per cent of German companies that have the opportunity to obtain this certificate! The credit rating seal is valid for one year from the date of issue, whereby the required company quality is also monitored during this period on the basis of current financial data.

The major advantage here is the great increase in security that customers receive from certified companies with continuously checked creditworthiness.

PQ Association Certificate

Reliability and expertise in the construction industry

The PQ-Verein certificate, awarded by the Verein für die Präqualifikation von Bauunternehmen e.V., confirms that a construction company fulfills certain quality standards. This certificate facilitates participation in public tenders and strengthens the confidence of clients in the reliability of the company. With the certificate, construction companies can prove that they have the necessary skills and resources to successfully complete projects.

The PQ Association, consisting of various industry associations and public institutions. Regular inspections and assessments ensure that the certified companies fulfill the current requirements and regulations.
