Environmental Sustainability

This guide serves as a summary of our environmental products and corporate initiatives. We continue to take steps toward offering more choices in sustainable design, with our new introductions throughout the year. As part of the larger Knoll family, we are committed to measuring the results of our efforts to have a neutral impact on climate change, as demonstrated through our continued voluntary participation in the Clinton Global Initiative, and in supporting green building, as evidenced in our 11 LEED-certified facilities and showrooms since 2011.
