Sustainability: an empty buzzword or a concrete concept?

by Ahmed Abdulla on June 06, 2025

It’s very easy to simply exclaim: sustainability, ecology, caring for the planet! But how do we ensure these aren’t just empty slogans or PR tactics to promote a specific brand image? At Oakywood, we talk the talk and walk the walk — we strive to make respect for nature a reality, not just a vague idea. For us, sustainability is a daily practice, and we consistently bring all those beautiful words to life.

Responsibly sourced materials

Working with wood means more to us than just making products — it’s a relationship with nature that demands responsibility and respect. That’s why we use only raw materials from verified sources, certified by the FSC® and obtained with the principles of sustainable forestry in mind. What’s more, since we take from nature, we also want to give something back: for every product sold, we plant one tree or 1 m² of forest, in collaboration with the One Tree Planted and Forest Forever foundations.

Besides wood, we also use Portuguese cork and merino wool felt to make some of our accessories. Both materials are eco-friendly: cork is harvested in a way that allows the tree to naturally regenerate, and the wool is sourced according to cruelty-free and mulesing-free standards.
