02The building
Sustainability with a measurable score
GPR Gebouw is the Dutch sustainability rating for buildings: it expresses a building's performance as a score on a scale of 1 to 10. Our energy-efficient building at Park Forum is certified with a rating of 8.0.
GPR Gebouw rates five themes
- EnergyThe building's energy use and how sustainably that energy is generated.
- EnvironmentThe environmental impact of the building and its materials over their whole life.
- HealthThe indoor climate: air, light, sound and temperature.
- Quality of useHow usable and accessible the building is.
- Future valueHow well the building adapts to different or future use.
03Fibres
GRS and certified fibres
For our fillings and fabrics, we work with sustainable, certified fibres, including fibres certified to the Global Recycled Standard.
- What is GRS?
- The Global Recycled Standard is an international, voluntary standard owned by Textile Exchange. It verifies how much recycled material a product contains and tracks that material through the whole supply chain, with certification by an independent body.
- What the standard requires
- Beyond recycled content and its origin, GRS sets requirements for social conditions, environmental practices and the use of chemicals in production.
- At HMG
- We tell you, article by article, which certified fibres are available for your product. You receive the relevant certificates with the quote.
