California Voluntary Carbon Market Disclosures Act

While we work to achieve our near – and long-term science-based targets (verified by Science Based Targets initiative), we have been carbon neutral in our operations since 2020. We achieve and maintain this by annually financing carbon credits equivalent to our direct emissions (scope 1) and procuring renewable energy equivalent to our electricity consumption limited assurance by an independent third party. While neither our carbon credits nor our renewable energy investments count as progress toward our science-based targets, this commitment helps deliver critical mitigation beyond our value chain. We annually disclose our emissions calculation and target methodology, progress, and verification details in our CDP Climate response, linked above.

Similarly, while we work to reduce the embodied carbon of our products through our science-based targets and Sustainable Product Design Framework, we offer our customers a collection of global solutions with Carbon Neutral product certification. We measure the embodied carbon of our high-performance seating and desking through lifecycle assessments and verified environmental product disclosures. We then finance carbon credits that remove or reduce emissions equivalent to each product’s cradle-to-grave lifecycle emissions, from material acquisition through end of life. The CarbonNeutral Protocol is the technical standard underpinning this certification, and Climate Impact Partners evaluates and verifies that we meet the requirements.

Our disclosure of carbon credits used to fulfill our operational- and product-level claims is available here.
