Herman Miller Highlights Progress to Building a Better World Around You
Every year, we put together our Better World report to let you know how we’re building a better world around you through environmental advocacy, inclusiveness and diversity, health and well-being, and community service. Are we perfect and do we always reach our goals? Of course not. Building a better world is not so much a goal as an everyday way of life.
Here are some highlights from the past fiscal year:
Community Service:
• Herman Miller employees logged 13,640 volunteer hours, exceeding the goal of 10,000.
Inclusiveness & Diversity:
• “Corporation of the Year” by Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council.
Health & Well-being
• 3rd consecutive year on FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For.
Environmental Advocacy
• Surpassed overall footprint reduction goal with 91% overall reduction.
• 100% green electrical energy usage worldwide.
If you have any questions or comments about the report, please feel free to share them with us here.
It’s great to see that your company and its employees are supporting Habitat for Humanity. I’ve participated in a couple of builds and was always impressed with the experience. The thing I appreciate most is that even if you are a woman you don’t get stuck doing painting and cleanup. You get to use power tools and actually learn basic construction techniques. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn skills and help your community at the same time.
