Based in London, United Kingdom, Chest of Drawers Ltd is a business that is committed to the triple bottom line. Profit, social good and environmental sustainability are all at the forefront of this furniture store based in Islington, North London that has now opened alternate showrooms in both West and South London.
Chest of Drawers offers furniture for the entire house including antique goods. The company was a 2011 winner of the Guardian's Sustainable Business Awards. In all of this, the way that the team has been able to provide some sense of transparency and knowledge for consumers was to build the Environmental Rating System so that each piece of furniture is labeled according to the transportation, workshop and other measures.
