BIFMA Levels

DAVIES OFFICE REFURBISHING BECOMES THE FIRST OFFICE FURNITURE REMANUFACTURER TO EARN BIFMA LEVEL CERTIFICATION FOR REMANUFACTURED PANEL SYSTEMS

ALBANY, NEW YORK—Reflecting its long-time leadership position on sustainability and green office practices, Albany, NY- based Davies Office Refurbishing, Inc. has become the first office remanufacturer ever to earn level™ Sustainability Certification from the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association (BIFMA). Davies earned level™ Certification for its remanufactured Avenir and System 9000 panel system lines.

“Incorporating the requirements of BIFMA level certification into our remanufacturing processes was nothing more than a logical step forward for an organization that has viewed being green as the foundation of our business for over 60 years,” commented company president Bill Davies.

“To qualify for level™ certification, the BIFMA standard not only scores the product, but also its producing organization and facilities, for sustainability in four areas: Materials, Energy and Atmosphere, Human and Ecosystem Health, and Social Responsibility. At Davies Office Refurbishing, we’re committed to environmentally-responsible policies and practices in each of those areas and our status as the industry’s first remanufacturer to earn level™ certification reflects just how seriously we take that commitment.”
