Sustainability

At Phillips Collection, sustainability is not just a commitment; it’s a cornerstone of our identity and a guiding principle that influences every decision we make. For over forty years, we’ve been more than just participants in the sustainability movement—we’ve been leaders, consistently setting the standard for what it means to be a responsible and forward-thinking company in the design industry. We firmly believe that every company, regardless of size or sector, has the power to create meaningful, lasting change, and we take this responsibility seriously.

As thought leaders in sustainability, we approach our role as global stewards with a deep sense of duty and innovation. Our commitment to eco-friendly practices is woven into the fabric of our operations, from the materials we source to the manufacturing processes we implement, both locally and internationally. We don’t just follow trends; we shape them, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in sustainable design and production. Our efforts extend beyond our products—we actively engage with the broader community to share knowledge, inspire change, and promote practices that protect our planet for future generations.

Our legacy is one of continuous innovation and unwavering responsibility. We’ve built a reputation not only on the beauty and craftsmanship of our products but also on our dedication to preserving the environment. Every piece we create reflects our deep respect for the planet, showcasing that luxury and sustainability are not mutually exclusive but can coexist harmoniously. At Phillips Collection, we are proud to lead by example, proving that sustainable practices are not just a business strategy but a fundamental aspect of who we are and what we stand for.

Our approach is rooted in mutual respect and collaboration, allowing us to create a positive impact that extends beyond our products and into the lives of those who help bring them to life.

Sustainable Furnishings Council

"At Phillips Collection we go very remote to find our treasures. And our resources have taught us respect. Not only do we have to harvest more responsibly, but we also need to invest in wasting nothing. Thank you SFC for years of enlightened stewardship. Of course, we’d love to be perfect, but I am very happy to just keep getting better and to double down on spreading the word."

"To quote my father, Larry Phillips, "The big decisions in life are obvious.” And this is one of them. The signs are everywhere. We need to pay attention to our world! The Sustainable Furnishings Council is a "perfect idea." Let’s raise awareness, share best practices, and set standards."

Mark Phillips, CEO
