Sustainability

Haworth is an industry leader in
sustainable practices.

Caring for our environment has been a long held,
company-wide value, and we are committed to constantly
evaluating and improving our production processes and
our products, from concept through end of life.

We were among the first in our industry to achieve ISO
14001 certification, and we currently maintain it in our
manufacturing facilities worldwide. We were also the first
office furniture manufacturer to achieve Zero-Waste-to-
Landfill status in all our global manufacturing facilities.
Since the inception of this initiative in 2009, we’ve
successfully diverted 100% of our waste streams from
landfill disposal. Haworth is now proactively targeting the
reduction of material sent for Waste to Energy treatment.
To date, less than 2% of our annual waste generated goes
to waste to energy treatment.

We are committed to providing our customers with
products that support safe and healthy environments.
Our products are composed of high-recycled content,
have high recyclability at end of life, and more than 95%
of our products are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality
and/or BIFMA level certified for lower emissions. Most
of our wood products are offered as FSC certified. With
few exceptions, most Haworth product is manufactured
locally for the market it serves - in the US for customers
in North America, in Europe for European customers,
and in Asia and India for the Asian Pacific market -
resulting in lower fuel emissions and a reduced carbon
footprint. We demand the same commitment to the
environment from our suppliers.
