A letter from Andi Owen
As a collective of premier design brands,
we know how powerful collaboration can be.
We come to work connected by a sharedpurpose to design for the good of humankind.
We are dedicated to creating a more equitable,
diverse, and inclusive environment and toprotect the planet we share.
Simply put—our goal is to design a better world
for us all.
Our brands have storied legacies, each filledwith their own individual triumphs. But at ourcore, we are connected by the way we solve
complex problems with the power of design.
Today, we approach designing a better world
through three primary lenses: sustainability,community impact, and diversity, equity,
inclusion, and belonging.
In 2022, we announced our new sustainability
goals—reducing our carbon footprint, designingout waste, and sourcing better materials, all
by 2030. Since then, our brands have madesignificant progress toward achieving our goals
by investing in renewable energy, removing
single-use materials in our packaging andproduction, and increasing recycled content
like ocean-bound plastic.
Beyond our corporate responsibilities to theplanet, we also believe in building a supportiveand inclusive work environment that promotes
our teams’ wellbeing. We know our diverse
global team is an incredibly valuable asset andour Business Resource Groups (BRGs), led by
our associates, remind us that our differences
foster vibrancy, innovation, and ultimately,
better solutions.
Through MillerKnoll Foundation, we drive to
make a difference in local communities acrossour global markets. Each year we host a Day of
Purpose on U.S. election day, where our facilities
worldwide close, removing barriers to voting
and allowing all associates globally to give backin ways most meaningful to them.
To invest in the next generation, we offer
scholarships to the children and grandchildrenof our associates, financial assistance forunderrepresented talent, and special programs
and support for underrepresented youth
interested in design.

And through our comprehensive supplier
diversity program, we are creating opportunities
for underrepresented businesses to thrive.
At MillerKnoll, we have the power—and the
responsibility—to spark positive change, makea difference, and design a more beautiful world.
In our Better World Report, you will see theinspirational work our teams do every day in that
relentless pursuit.
Thank you to our associates, suppliers, designers,
dealers, and the many customers who share
our commitment. Together, we are designing abetter world.

Board of Directors

We are united in our belief that business should be a force for good. We holdourselves and our partners accountable to high ethical standards, integrity,
and a spirit of openness and trust.
Because we believe that continuous evolution is critical to our
success, we embrace change. In 2021, we updated our global
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which continues toinclude an ethics and compliance hotline where associates
can report concerns.

Appendix

We expect all suppliers to follow our Supplier Code of
Conduct, which holds them responsible for conducting
business in an ethical, legal, and environmentally
sustainable way. We make these documents easy to findon our website and available in several languages.

The importance of effective corporate governance has
been a cornerstone of MillerKnoll since becoming a publicly
traded company in 1970. Our Board recognizes the needto maintain a strong foundation of governance built on acommitment to ethical standards of business conduct,
integrity, professionalism, and purpose. This foundation isnecessary to foster an environment, both in the boardroom

How we envisiona better world
Our passion for social good is woven through our history.
In the early 1990s, Herman Miller moved away from using
endangered rosewood in the iconic Eames Lounge. Knoll
participated in the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative Annual
Meeting and joined the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX®)
to address climate change. In 2020, Herman Miller wasnamed among the top one percent of companies in EcoVadis
corporate social responsibility ratings.
As we look to the future, our passion for good continues
to drive the decisions we make as a company.

We’re not afraid to take on complex challenges in service of the greater good.
We’ve done it throughout the history of our iconic brands, and we’re continuing thattradition to address our impact on the climate. Because our biggest impacts comefrom products and operations, we are first focused on reducing carbon emissions inthese two areas. And we’re working to increase renewable energy use and work closelywith our suppliers across our value chain to decrease our indirect Scope 3 emissions.

Carbon reduction
Our holistic, realistic climate action plan incorporates thefull impact of our collective of brands, is grounded in science,
and aligns with experts—to make our future world better.
	
Understanding impact:
Since our 2021 acquisition of Knoll, we’ve unified ourcarbon data among brands for a more complete pictureof our impact.
	Joining the global effort:
We’re engaging in the long-term work necessary to reachour carbon reduction goals for 2030, which are in line with
the U.N. Paris Agreement. (See these goals on p. 13.)	
Setting goals:
We plan to develop a near-term company-wide emission
reductions goal in line with the Science Based Targets
initiative (SBTi).

We are constantly pushing ahead, seeking new partnerships
and cutting-edge technologies. In Europe and the Asia Pacificregion, HAY has engaged Maersk ECO Delivery to address
the everyday business need of transporting products acrossthe ocean in a low-carbon way. As part of HAY’s ongoing CO2
reducing initiatives, we developed a more sustainable foam
for About A Lounge (AAL) and Uchiwa chairs. By replacing
the existing polyurethane from fossil fuels with a biomassed
balanced polyurethane made from renewable raw materials,
we contribute to saving limited resources and reduce ourenvironmental impact. The quality of the product remains thesame, but is produced with 80–82% less carbon.
We are also conducting energy audits across our largest
manufacturing sites to develop a carbon reduction roadmap
to achieve our 2030 goals.

Supplier compliance
Relationships remain at the heart of our business. Suppliers are expected to behave in a waythat is ethical, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible. In 2023, we revised our
supplier scorecard to prioritize sustainability. Now, suppliers are evaluated based on how they
support our environmental goals, alongside metrics like cost, quality, and reliability.
	MillerKnoll’s Supplier Code of Conduct details our expectations for how to conduct business.
	Each year, we conduct third-party compliance audits at selected supplier factories to verify
compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct.
	The audits cover five main areas: Environment, Labor, Wages & Hours, Health & Safety,
and Management Systems.

Sourcing renewable energy
To further reduce our footprint, we’ve enlisted experts to evaluate and carry out ourrenewable energy plans.

CASE STUDY

We’ve changed the course of our operations with two
recent agreements to purchase renewable energy forMillerKnoll campuses in Spring Lake, Michigan andEast Greenville, Pennsylvania. Both facilities are now
sourcing 100% hydropower and wind energy—together
accounting for 25% of MillerKnoll’s total energy use.
This progress makes us even more determined to keep
forging ahead with new and gentler ways to operate.

	For more on how we work with our suppliers to support our diversity, equity, inclusion,and belonging (DEIB) goals, please see the Increasing supplier diversity section.

	Designing out waste:
We’re inspired to raise the bar across our industry for designing out waste. Since FY 2021, we
have reduced single-use plastic packaging waste by 40% at 14 of our global manufacturing
facilities. We’ve done this by replacing expanded polystyrene with paper-based solutions,down-gauging plastic films, and utilizing recycled content in place of virgin material.
	
Embracing circularity:
According to the U.S. EPA, more than 80% of used furniture is sent to landfills. In the U.S.,
MillerKnoll’s rePurpose program gives unwanted furniture a new home—we diverted morethan 1,500 tons of used furniture from the landfill and helped 300+ nonprofits and community
organizations with furniture donations. And in the U.K., all NaughtOne products can berecycled through a take-back program.

Sourcing better materials
We’re focused on using better materials to design andmanufacture products. Our Design for Environment (DfE) teamworks to meet all regulatory compliance standards for products,
and we also strive to meet our customers’ needs for healthy,
sustainable products and spaces. Dedicated work across
our company includes regular life cycle assessments (LCAs)
of our products to measure environmental impacts.

Community Impact

Appendix2023 Better World Report13	Creating transparency on materials:
We are transparent about our materials because we believe in informed decisions. Our ecomedes
platform provides environmental product information from across our brands, including details
about materials used and third-party certifications. This resource helps customers buy or specify
environmentally preferable products by supplying product-level data and automating productperformance calculations that can help contribute to sustainability goals.
	
Increasing recycled content
Thinking long term about tomorrow defines what we do today. We are a founding member of
NextWave Plastics, a consortium of brands dedicated to using ocean-bound plastics in theirproducts. In 2021, Herman Miller announced ocean-bound plastic incorporation for the Aeron
Chairs. By incorporating ocean-bound plastic in the Aeron Chair, more than 54 metric tons of
mismanaged plastic waste was diverted from entering the ocean at the end of fiscal year 2022.
Other examples include Muuto’s Fiber Chair, which uses 80 percent recycled material andHerman Miller’s Eames Shell Chair, composed of 100 percent post-industrial recycled plastic.
	
Sustainably harvested materials:
MillerKnoll is dedicated to reducing environmental impacts by protecting against deforestationand forest degradation. We take action to reduce and remove deforestation and forest degradationfrom operations and supply chains by requiring FSC® certification throughout our supply chain.
It’s never been more important to address deforestation and carbon emissions.

Looking ahead
Bringing curiosity and a senseof possibility enables us toredefine what is possible for abusiness to run sustainably. In
2022, this journey led us to set
bold goals for the future, which
we’re pursuing as we continue
the work to set baselines
across our brands.

2030 goals:	Reduce the carbon footprint from our products andoperations by 50% and aim to reduce the carbon footprintof our suppliers	Stop using single-use plastics and substantially reduce alltypes of waste	Use 50% or more recycled content and purchase materials
that are responsibly and sustainably produced

Days of Understanding
Nurturing an inclusive culture calls for connection, conversation, and community among all
associates, no matter their position or title. In 2021, we launched Days of Understanding toprovide spaces for sharing opinions, increasing understanding, and deepening empathy andrespect. In 2022, these conversations extended to a full month of events.

Inclusive learning & development
We see experiential learning as a means to define our individual and collective futures. In addition
to the foundational compliance programs supporting what we do and how we do it, we’vetransformed our learning and development strategy to encompass a global initiative focusedon Inclusive Learning. Both a strategy and a mindset, Inclusive Learning takes a multicultural
approach rooted in creating a better tomorrow through inclusivity. Here are a few key programs
we’ve launched or expanded upon in 2022:

Increasing supplier diversity
We believe in the power of inclusive design. Our expanded global supplier diversity program—
Supplier Equity Advancement Transformation (SEAT)—ignites this power and delivers positive
results for our suppliers and our communities. We look within our company to increase supplier
diversity while also reaching outward to the wider industry for ways to identify, collaborate with,and develop diverse suppliers through engagement with external certifying organizations andmentorship. A few recent examples of our efforts:
	The National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMDC) has established a goal to reach$1 trillion in certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) annual revenue; MillerKnoll
was among the first of the member organizations to commit to a year over year spend increase.
	MillerKnoll mentors a group of diverse MBE suppliers as part of the Collaborative Growth
Initiative (CGI).

Industry collaborations
As a leading furniture manufacturing company, we embrace our role in driving DEIB strategy
across the design industry. We think boldly: we want to change the face of representation in
the field of design. And we want to do it through collaboration.
MillerKnoll’s DEIB team also supports the efforts of our independent dealers embarking on
their DEIB journey. The MillerKnoll team has mentored the employees of Catalyst, a Seattle,
Washington-based dealer. Specific areas of Catalyst’s DEIB learning and development havefocused on inclusive leadership, cultural awareness, cultivating a sense of curiosity andempathy, introducing a common language and understanding into daily work/life businessengagements, and understanding the significance of DEIB to an organization and its people.

	As part of our commitment to diverse suppliers, MillerKnoll supports veteran-owned businesses.
Through our partnership with the Veteran Owned Business Roundtable, we sponsored scholarships
supporting the education and business development of Veteran owned businesses.
Across our brands, we are creating a supplier social compliance program with metrics for risk
assessment within one consolidated system. Expanding our number of diverse suppliers also
remains a top priority: our CEO announced a goal to increase our spend with minority businesses
by five percentage points over the next five years.

Diversity in Design—Bringing possibility to the design sector
In 2021, MillerKnoll became a founding member of theDiversity in Design (DID) Collaborative, whose goal iscreating systemic change by increasing diversity andimproving conditions for Black creatives across thedesign industry. As DID expanded, so did its ambitions.
Soon, DID developed an ambassador program which now
connects diverse communities to design professionals,
contributes to thought leadership, and creates joint work
streams of interest such as youth design awareness orcollege-to-workforce readiness.

As part of DID’s proof of concept in 2022, the Collaborative
Growth Initiative launched Designed By, a pilot program tofoster awareness of design as a career path for high school
students. The half-day program brought together Black
creatives with over 200 teens from 14 Detroit public schools,
and featured a keynote by a Hip-hop architect along witha lively intergenerational panel discussion. The teens left
energized about their potential new pathways into design,and the program’s success has led to plans for additional
programs around the country.

communities worldwide. Giving is an integral part of our DEIB ecosystem, and we arelaser focused on actions that resonate in our communities. Building on the strength andmomentum of both the legacy Herman Miller Cares and Knoll Charitable Foundations,in 2022 the two merged into MillerKnoll Foundation to amplify and expand our global
philanthropic initiatives and impact.

In addition to our community-based grant making,we activate worldwide programs accessible to allbrands that reinforce our company’s values, including:	
Associate Educational Scholarships:
We strive to support and empower the children
and grandchildren of our associates through a
global scholarship program that has been in placefor over 20 years.
	Disaster Support:
When a natural disaster or tragedy strikes, we often
engage immediately with financial support andmatch associate contributions. In 2022, the Ukraine
Humanitarian crisis compelled us to broaden our
donation match beyond associates to our dealersand suppliers, which generated over $150,000 in aid
for Ukraine refugees within a 30-day period.

	Fund Matching Programs:
Through various fund matching programs, we supportand encourage associates to give personally to causes
they care about and/or lead fundraising teams.
These programs reinforce our commitment to associate
engagement and belonging and generate donation
matches engaging 500+ associates year over year.
	Global Associate Relief Fund:
When a personal hardship impacts an associate, we offer
ways to care for each other. Our new Global Associate
Relief Fund depends on individual donations andcompany contributions to directly help coworkers with
unexpected challenges, such as funerals, medical bills,
or other emergencies.

Stakeholder engagement and materiality
Listening to our stakeholders is essential to the way we do business. In doing so, we seek
to understand their priorities and concerns, which becomes valuable input into how weunderstand our ESG priorities and material topics.

In 2016, we conducted our first materiality assessment.
This helped us identify the ESG topics most importantto our business and highlight areas we can improve.
We are currently engaging with our stakeholders
to refresh the assessment and expect results to be
published in our Better World Report in 2024. For the
purposes of this Report, please see our priority topics

Our concerns extend not only to our own employees, but also to our customers, and we address their health andwell-being in every step of product development, from idea conception through disposal. This commitment isevidenced by the materials we choose, our manufacturing processes, and our advances in ergonomic design.
In 1968, Herman Miller introduced the first panel-based office furniture system. This major innovation introduced
human factors and ergonomics to the office work environment, in part due to our deep understanding of thehuman body and his concept of using movable parts to adapt the office to the individual inhabitant. In 1976, after
11 years of research, Herman Miller introduced modern ergonomics to the contract furniture industry with the
Ergon chair, the first truly ergonomic work chair.
Today, proper ergonomics guides every MillerKnoll design and designer. We want to make every person
comfortable, safe, and productive at work by applying the principles of good ergonomic design: fit the user
in both size and capability; fit the task (placement of tools and equipment with regard to reach, duration, andintensity is essential to task performance); and allow for posture change and activity variety (muscles require
movement to stay healthy).
By improving worker comfort and vitality in the workplace and reducing the likelihood of developing
musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), we contribute to a healthier, happier, and more successful work environment.
