# We were sustainable when sustainability wasn’t cool.

As founding members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, Gat Creek was committed to responsible manufacturing before the big names in furniture even knew what sustainability was. We’ve had plenty of time to figure out what makes the most impact. 

In this series, founder and CEO Gat Caperton explores each pillar and shares insights to help consumers make informed choices when shopping for furniture. Watch the first episode.

Gat Creek's five pillars of sustainability:

- Source of raw material
- Energy to transport
- Energy to produce
- Pollution minimization
- Impact on people
