JYSK and the Surrounding World

JYSK is a big company, and this means that we invariably influence our surroundings and have to be conscious of our actions. This again means that we need to be in a continued dialogue with our customers, the media and various organisations about the best way to run a company - and also how issues and challenges are handled in relation to company operations. This also includes communications with the public through the media.

Preserving the tropical forests

JYSK is working towards greater investment in sustainable felling as well as in forest region and works with factories that live up to the strictest requirements edhering to social and environmental standards. One way that we do this is via our membership of the TFT (Tropical Forest Trust) which we co-founded back in 1999. Read more at www.tropicalforesttrust.com.

We want to prevent deforestation, particularly in southeast Asia. That's why through our committed membership of the TFT we are working to ensure that the world's rainforests are run according to the principles of sustainability.

We are also working to make sure that wood sourced from the rainforests achieves FSC certification, which means that nature, animals and people are protected.

Trade and attitudes

JYSK buys large shipments of products from suppliers located all over the world. This means we are very strict about checking up on the ethical guidelines of our suppliers. One of our requirements is that the surroundings, including the environment, nature, wildlife and people, must be cared for and treated with respect.
