Alea Office: the office brand that is a Benefit Corporation
Most furniture makers talk about sustainability; Alea Office is legally bound to it. The Italian family firm, founded in 1972, became a Benefit Corporation in 2023 and publishes an impact report to prove it: solar that avoided 238,000 kg of CO₂ in its first year, 75% of suppliers within 200 km, and furniture designed to be taken apart and recycled.
For a UK project measured on ESG, that is evidence rather than a claim, backed by ISO 14001, FSC and LEED compliance. La Mercanti brings Alea into the scheme, gathers the documentation and can combine it with other brands, as your single point of contact.
