From our Company's inception as a wood furniture manufacturer, relying on nature's resources to create our products, the ideas of conservation and sustainability, of sensitivity toward our environment, have been deeply ingrained in our culture. Concern for our environment and "leading by example" in the promotion of environmentally responsible business practices is something that Kimball International believes in as part of our corporate philosophies. Kimball International's sustainability practices include initiatives to reduce water usage, solid waste generation, VOC emissions, hazardous waste materials and Greenhouse Gases. Environmental goals are set and results measured against benchmarks. Kimball International Green Standards Environmental Policy Statement Kimball International is dedicated to continued excellence, leadership and stewardship in protecting the environment, the health and safety of our employees and the members of the communities in which we work and live. Our commitment is to exceed customer expectations and to fully comply with Federal, State and Local environmental regulations. Within the design and production of product, in collaboration with our customers and suppliers, we strive to eliminate pollution generated at the source, to use renewable materials and to maximize the reclamation and recycling of materials to minimize adverse impact on the environment. All Kimball International manufacturing locations have implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) and nearly all of these locations have achieved third party ISO 14001 registration, the global standard for environmental protection and commitment to continuous improvement. The ISO 14001 Environmental Management System requires continuous improvement initiatives to reduce impacts on the environment. To read our Environmental Policy, click here. Waste Reduction and Recycling Kimball International’s Corporate Recycle Center (CRC) supports the programs of numerous regional facilities, providing a central location for consolidating recyclable materials for re-sale and transport. Currently the CRC recycles over 65 different waste materials. Among the materials recycled are steel, aluminum, glass, fabrics, printer cartridges, electronic equipment, and several types of plastic, wood and cardboard, which is either sold for re-use or recycled by type of material. The sustainability and continuous improvement projects have reduced the overall waste generated at Kimball International facilities as the amount of recycling has steadily increased. Sustainable Global Wood Purchasing Kimball International strives to ensure that wood used in the manufacturing of our products is obtained from environmentally and socially responsible sources. Knowing we are procuring wood responsibly not only supports our sustainability initiatives, but also provides assurance that our wood-based components have the lowest possible burden on the global environment. It is Kimball International’s policy to work with partners who share our values of responsible management of wood from the forests where our raw materials are harvested. Kimball International strives to use wood from properly managed forests to reduce the environmental impact we have on our industry. Kimball International expects suppliers of wood-based materials to follow all applicable laws of the United States of America including the Lacey Act, in addition to laws of the country where they are located and international treaties and agreements to which the United States is a signatory. We will not use species listed in CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) Appendices I or II, for the manufacturing of our products. Our Supply Chain Team will give preference to suppliers who participate in the following programs: Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), American Tree Farm System (ATFS), Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), and Composite Panel Association’s Eco Certified Composite (ECC).
