Sustainability Commitment

IMSS InteriorsTM strongly supports sustainable manufacturing LEED requirements and procedures. Wherever possible we try to implement those best practices established by the U.S. G.B.C. Green Building Council's "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" (LEED) Green Building Rating System™, NAHB Green, and local green manufacturing codes. We strongly believe that

IMSS InteriorsTM, our manufacturers and our Clients must continue to adopt practices that reduce the negative environmental footprint of our products production and applications.

The LEED program has recognized the following areas in the furniture manufacturing where LEED points can be accredited to a hotel project from its furniture Vendors.

IMSS InteriorsTM endeavors to comply to these guidelines as much as possible. Where a hotel expressly engages in the compliance to these standards,

IMSS InteriorsTM will supply the necessary documentation to support the Project Owners certification. These LEED guidelines are as follow

• RECYCLED CONTENT: MDF is made of recycled contents, 100%. MDF is used wherever possible and per specifications (LEED credits 4.1 & 4.2: points: 2)
• FINAL ASSEMBLY: This guideline requires final assembly to be within a 500 mile distance from the final destination.

  IMSS InteriorsTM furniture is assembled in China.

  IMSS InteriorsTM will modify construction to enable on site or local warehouse assembly within the 500 mile requirement as instructed by Project Owners. (LEED credits 5.1 & 5.2: points: 2)

• RAPIDLY RENEWABLE MATERIALS: MDF, Bamboo, and some reconstituted veneers meet these standards. More importantly wood purchased from FSC certified renewable farms provide another resource for these points. (LEED credits 6.1 & 6.2: points: 1)
