Our ESG Reporting Strategy
Steelcase is committed to reporting annually on our sustainability vision, goals and progress. We use an approach of transparency and authenticity and continue to refine our reporting practices to help stakeholders understand our goals, standards and objectives. We do this while remaining consistent with external guidelines and expectations.
CDP
Steelcase first engaged with Climate Disclosure Project (CDP) in 2011 when we reported our carbon emissions, reduction goals and carbon strategy through the CDP Climate Change Program. We have reported Scope 1, 2 and ten categories of Scope 3 emissions through this program every year since 2015 and we have remained on the CDP leaderboard for Scope 3 supplier engagement since 2021. These scoring improvements have been driven by the creation and evolution of our carbon strategy, climate-related risk management programs and science-based emissions reduction targets.
UN Global Compact Communication of Progress
Steelcase is a signatory to this voluntary initiative that is based on CEO commitments and aims to implement universal sustainability principles for businesses. The Communication of Progress measures and demonstrates our progress on the Ten Principles and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
SASB
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) identifies the subset of sustainability standards most relevant to financial performance for our industry. We report progress on these standards annually.
