Sustainability is close to our heart, since our products wouldn't exist without the natural materials originating from our forests. Creating beauty through art is our vision, and to do so sustainably means striving to improve our production process and actively reducing its impact on our environment. We do this in several ways.

We are working toward a more sustainable future, and we remain conscious that there is work to be done. With an emphasis on sustainable materials and production processes, we are actively taking steps to minimize our carbon footprint, together with a select team of partners.

At Desenio, improving the sustainability of our products is central to our mission. We are proud to work with a Swedish paper mill who prioritizes sustainability. Some of our prints are made in the US, with a partner who ensures all the paper used for printing our products is FSC certified and prioritizes high sustainability practices.

This means the vast majority of the paper used in our products comes from sustainably managed forests. We use premium uncoated, age-resistant paper to ensure our prints last a long time.

Desenio is a Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) certified company, which means that the trees used to make paper for our prints are harvested in a responsible way. This provides environmental, social and economic benefits for everyone involved in production.

As of 2020 we are a FSC certified company, a natural step in our journey toward our sustainability goals. FSC is a non-profit organization that sets certain high standards to ensure forestry is both environmentally responsible and socially responsible.

Being certified by FSC means we meet these standards and serves as a guarantee that materials used in our production of art prints originate from sustainable FSC certified forests.

Our FSC certification code: SAI-COC-010910

Our FSC Trademark License Code: FSC-C153048

We are proud to work with a paper mill who prioritizes sustainability. Our paper mill is FSC certified, as is the paper used in our art prints and picture mounts. All our posters (with the exception of a few designs) are certified and labeled with the FSC Mix symbol on our site, which guarantees that at least 70% of the wood used in their production is from FSC certified forests.

In 2017 we became proud partners of Vi Agroforestry, an organization that has planted 120 million trees and supported over 2.5 million people in the fight against poverty since 1983. With Vi Agroforestry, we plant two new trees for every tree used in the production of sold art prints. Since 2017, we've planted more than 52,000 trees and counting!

Vi Agroforestry believes that human and environmental sustainability go hand in hand. Through a holistic approach to smallholder agriculture, they work to ensure a positive impact on both farmers' livelihoods and on the environment. By training small-scale farmers in East Africa in sustainability and tree planting, farmers can earn a living and send their children to school.

At Desenio we want our employees to feel welcomed and appreciated. Desenio is a place to have impact, inspire, and grow. Our work environment benefits from the passion, dedication, and friendliness of our team. Today there are over 140 employees at the Desenio HQ in Stockholm, with over 15 nationalities between them.

Outside of Desenio HQ, we work with a select team of suppliers, based in Europe, Asia and the USA. We forge these relationships carefully and together, we respect our social and environmental responsibilities as set out in our code of conduct. This consists of 10 principles within social and environmental sustainability, covering areas including working hours, wages, child labor, discrimination and health & safety.

We have high standards when producing our art prints and we value the skill involved from the production teams. Together with our suppliers, we strive to improve the quality and lifetime of our products through careful product development. You can help us by taking good care of your prints, and passing them on to another art-lover, or recycling them, when you no longer want them.
