Buro Seating, a leading wholesaler of quality ergonomic seating in New Zealand & Australia, says its success is linked to the success of the suppliers who provide goods and services for their wholesale business. Their seating products are sourced ethically to make chairs that are produced in closely managed factories.

Buro Seating’s sourcing policy stresses responsibility. The company’s core values and philosophy is the basis for their ethical sourcing statement. They believe their seating and services must be produced and delivered under conditions that do not involve the abuse or exploitation of any person. Their social accountability requirements covers forced or child labour, harassment and abuse, conditions of abuse, non-discrimination, freedom of association, wages and benefits, work hours, ethical standards, environmental impact and health and safety. Buro’s business partners are crucial to managing the vision that is upheld throughout the supply chain.

Buro’s current Global GreenTag certification status along with those of their participating factories with ISO9001, ISO14001 & OHSAS 18001, Social Accountability & Quality Assurance qualifications, further demonstrate Buro’s ongoing solid commitment to their Ethical Sourcing policy.

The company has continuously exceeded most of their goals to help people and communities that they work with. It is not simply performance and profits, nor is ethical sourcing simply a phrase used to appeal to consumers. Buro tries hard to give consumers safe, quality products while making them aware that at every step there has been care taken to ensure appropriate employee welfare and environmental conditions are met.

Buro Seating has pledged to develop environmentally sustainable products and business practices. They are committed to growing a range of chairs manufactured from recyclable materials. Buro tries to design products and processes that utilises minimal raw materials. They design products with a minimum end of life recyclability of 95% in New Zealand. They are committed to reducing, reusing and recycling waste.

They have a chair for most corporate requirements be it an office chair, task chair, executive chair, ergonomic chair, computer chair or kneeling chair.

Buro has offices and showrooms in Auckland, Christchurch and Brisbane.
