Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

Already 10 of our product lines, including the Xenium and Denuo chair lines, hold this longest-established environmental mark in the world. The Blue Angel certificate means our products have significantly better environmental characteristics compared to competitors, and support sustainable consumption efforts. Under its Forum Seating brand, Nowy Styl provides seats and telescopic stands for stadiums and sports halls, con- cert halls, cinemas, theatres and auditoriums. Furniture in these kind of places must meet special safety standards. Therefore, we always have them tested for strength and safety by independent institutions (according to EN 12727, EN 16139, EN ISO 9227, EN 13200-4, EN ISO 3385, EN 1728, Hygienic Certificate).
