The LOFAmark accreditation scheme
The Made Aware scheme is intended to enable LOFA members to progressively improve the environmental and social impacts of the products they sell. It will cover the majority of the various types of garden furniture and barbecues that our members are involved with.
Its initial focus is on understanding what these impacts are throughout the ‘life story’ of our members’ products. Once this information has been gained, then it can be used to identify opportunities for LOFA members to work with their suppliers to make improvements.
As appropriate information is obtained, and practical improvements agreed, the scheme will generate a track record of achievement. When this is sufficiently widespread throughout the LOFA membership, we will launch an accreditation label scheme to denote products that have attained a particular standard.
