Sustainable spaces make a difference to the world outside them and the quality within them.
Herman Miller takes environmental sustainability seriously. Our partners in education do so as well: Creating environmentally sustainable facilities is chief among current design criteria at learning institutions.
Following green building principles provides ways for all of us to make a difference to the environment. Our facilities are designed to meet U.S. Green Building Council standards. How products are designed and manufactured also makes a difference. We follow cradle-to-cradle principles, requiring that we consider the environmental impact of all stages of a product's life, from its production to its recyclability.
Buildings exist for decades. We owe it to ourselves and to those who will inhabit these buildings long after us to be responsible for their impact on the environment.
