We're on a mission

to re-seed the respect for nature and drive people and the planet towards healthier, sustainable urban living

 

Commitment

Naava is a supporter of Agenda 2030 and a recently accepted participant of the UN Global Compact initiative. We are committed to acting according to the standards set by the UN and thrive to promote them in our future operations.

The 17 sustainable development goals set by the UN are important drivers in our sustainability matters. We have selected three goals as the most significant for Naava.

Impact

Naava impacts human health & well-being by bringing the power of nature indoors.

We see our impact as two-dimensional: Handprint contains all our positive effects on society, whereas Footprint is everything we leave behind. Read more on these below.

 

 

Handprint

According to the World Health Organization, inhaling poor, polluted air thousands of times in a day is one of the most significant environmental health risks of the 21st century.

The core of our handprint is to work on solving this global threat. As of now, around 390 000 people are daily under the influence of our services, which are scientifically proven to decrease stress and improve cognitive functions.

Footprint

Thanks to Naava’s technology, we are able to take care of the plants remotely - thus effectively reducing the amount of travelling, transportation, and plants needed for maintenance. Current estimates tell, that we're able to cut travelling over five-fold.

We‘re constantly developing our products to be more sustainable. Our latest product range is manufactured using 45% less raw materials while also being more recyclable. The same product range also carries 81% less packaging volume and 71% less packaging materials.

Over the course of 11 years, 5000 Naava walls have seen daylight. Almost all of the devices manufactured are still in use.
