Eco Exotic brings together nine of Indonesia’s leading companies that produce furniture and home accessories. Most of these manufacturers have considerable experience in exporting to the US, Europe and Japan, just to mention a few. Having established themselves as reliable trading partners, Eco Exotic companies are taking a major leap forward—ensuring that their manufacturing practices neither endanger the natural environment nor harm people. Whether it involves Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, exploring the limitless potential of natural renewable fibers such as pandanus or rattan, eliminating toxic glues or phasing out artificial dyes, Eco Exotic members have all embarked on a path towards sustainability. This new direction is enshrined in time-bound strategic action plans to be implemented over the coming years.

By progressively changing traditional concepts of corporate management, Eco Exotic members are also bringing comprehensive health coverage and safer working environments to workers, as well as financial security to rural communities. Strengthened production standards are an integral part of these changes. While the long-standing tradition of Indonesian craftsmanship remains true to its name, production standards are constantly being upgraded to meet custom packaging requirements and all other aspects of international logistics. Simultaneously, efforts are being made to share the values of eco-friendly practices with the rest of the industry—a task that some members have taken on with great zeal.

Eco Exotic members are guided by the following values:

1. Relentless focus on quality and buyer satisfaction
2. Caring for people in our company and our community
3. Caring for the planet by reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing activities
