We are passionate about good design and the very best quality. At COR, this means operating responsibly. Environmental, economic and social considerations naturally complement one another.

For more than 70 years, we at COR have been planning, producing and acting in a way that today would be called sustainable. Because we are a family business that thinks in decades rather than quarters. Because we manufacture exclusively in Germany and therefore to high environmental and social standards. And because we build high-quality furniture that does not end up on the bulky waste pile after two moves but accompanies its owners through many homes and stages of life. And which, in the best sense, may therefore be called, well, durable and resource-efficient.

We view sustainability as an ongoing process that we continually refine—regardless of how external conditions change. We develop, question, and improve ourselves.

The effort and money we put into the training and development of our employees and into health programmes, for example, are at the same time investments in the skill, knowledge and capability of our most important resource. The heating we run on our own wood waste, with which we fire the plant's own mini power station, first of all benefits the climate and the environment. Because wood, a local and renewable raw material, is simply far more ecological than fossil gas or oil. We consistently avoid the use of tropical wood, heavy metals and hazardous fuels.

We were able to reduce our CO2e emissions by 30% between 2020 and 2025. We offset site-specific emissions that we have not yet been able to reduce.
