EARTH MINDED
From sourcing and manufacturing to merchandising and distribution,
we hold ourselves and our partners to the highest ethical
and environmental standards.
Leading by example
To be an international flooring provider, we have to lead by example. We dedicate time and resources to ensure our products have an overall positive impact on the people who use them and those who make them. We optimize our processes and carefully select materials that are environmentally sound to create the best flooring products with the lowest impact. We believe that a quality product reduces the need for replacement and protects the safety of its user, so we only use reputable providers of raw materials.
social responsibility
Home Legend knows that end-users are not the only stakeholders affected by our processes. We work to develop and manufacture products that minimize negative externalities and consider their effects on people and environments at every step of their life cycle. We look at the big picture and strive our best to do what's best for all.
Environmental Stewardship
Our wood and bamboo sourcing is a critical component of our environmental responsibility. As a key component of our products, we take great measures to only source wood and bamboo from sustainable, FSC-certified partners. We also manage thousands of hectares of fast-growing tree and bamboo forests in China, which helps maintain quality, efficiency, and oversight of our entire process, while providing a natural carbon capture method that benefits everyone.
Exceeding Standards
Home Legend works diligently to source only from reputable vendor partners who employ and meet strict 3rd party certifications for quality and safety. We continuously audit our supply chain and periodically contract outside firms to ensure that people worldwide work under safe, fair, and legal conditions.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor Air Quality is an important contributing factor to healthy indoor environments. The products placed in a home contribute to the quality of the air we breathe. 69% of consumers prefer to purchase products that carry an Indoor Air Quality certification. Of primary concern in indoor environments is exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from sources commonly used in homes and commercial buildings such as furnishings, paint, cleaning agents, solvents, flooring products and building materials. VOCs contribute to poor indoor air quality which has a number of negative health implications. Short-term consequences include triggering asthma and allergy attacks, flu-like symptoms, and long-term exposure may lead to complications with respiratory and neurological disease. Children, in particular, are vulnerable to impure airborne toxins, as they have higher inhalation rates per pound of body weight than adults. Home Legend’s product portfolio of quality Laminate, Hardwood, Bamboo and Vinyl flooring has received GREENGUARD GOLD Certification. Greenguard Gold Certification indicates that a product has met one of the highest environmental standards for clean indoor air and contributes to a healthy home, work, school and other indoor environments. Our products also meet California Air Resource Board CARB 2 Compliance Standards – the highest formaldehyde emissions standard currently required in the United States.
