Global Environmental Metrics

In 2006, we pledged to reduce our global environmental footprint by 25 percent by 2012. Reducing our environmental footprint globally means keeping careful watch on our greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, energy use, and waste.

Since the goal reset in 2006, the company has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent, its water consumption and VOC emissions by 52 percent, and its waste by 48 percent. Since Steelcase began tracking these metrics in 2001, the company's cumulative reduction has been 60 percent, 73 percent, 95 percent and 80 percent, respectively. These charts track our progress. ■
