- We make certain that our products can maximize contributions to our customer’s own green building certifications (LEED).
- We make it easy for our customers to choose products from our line that can contribute by having a large number of IAQ gold and level 3 certified products.
- We make it easy for our customers to order FSC wood as well by making it a standard option on thousands of models.
- We focus our sustainability statements around our certifications wherever possible so that it’s not just “green” rhetoric, but, rather, claims that are backed up by third-party audits against open and credible standards.
