NBF Pledge for Our Planet

The National Bed Federation’s industry-wide “Pledge for Our Planet” asks its members to take steps to become a more sustainable industry

The National Bed Federation has updated its Pledge for Our Planet to reflect a clearer, more practical path towards environmental responsibility.

The updated Pledge focuses on four key areas:

Demonstrate your commitment to becoming a more sustainable business

Reduce your emissions

Reduce your waste and embrace circularity

Be transparent about your sustainability performance and claims

There is now overwhelming scientific evidence that our planet is under increasing pressure – from rising temperatures to shrinking natural resources. Whilst we may not be able to solve every environmental challenge, we can focus on our industry and do what we can.

The four-point Pledge signifies a shared commitment to reversing these trends through continual improvement, increased transparency, and collective action across the supply chain.

Designed to be accessible to all businesses, regardless of size or where they are on their sustainability journey, the Pledge provides a framework for progress, not perfection. We hope that the Pledge will receive signatories from all types of players on the market. If required, the Pledge will be reviewed by the NBF in response to any legislation or market changes, as well as the reported progress made by signatories.

By signing up to the Pledge, your company shows how it is playing its part – alongside others in the bed industry – to help build a more circular, transparent and climate-conscious future.
