Philosophy of Kvadrat

The potential circularity of a solution begins at the design stage. Therefore, in everything we do, we follow Conscious Design Principles to accelerate positive change, support responsible business practice, and drive progress towards a net-zero economy.

We are committed to creating solutions that elevate quality of spaces and drive the transition towards lower-emission buildings – which is essential for meeting the decarbonisation goals set out in the Paris Agreement.

Furthermore, we aim to bring transparency to everything we do with comprehensive impact documentation. Finally, we collaborate closely with our suppliers to create innovative solutions that support the 17 UN Sustainability Development Goals.
