Today, Steelcase announced our commitment to a net-zero future, taking decisive action across our entire value chain. We are working to reduce carbon emissions 90% by transforming our entire business – our products, operations and transportation.
We are the first in our industry to declare our intent to become net-zero and have a transition plan to do so by 2050. This is a natural next step in a long history of Steelcase commitments to people and planet.
As one example, in 2004 we launched the Think chair as a pioneer in sustainable design. Manufactured with fewer parts, Think is up to 95% recyclable by weight and is designed for easy disassembly. In 2023, we updated this classic chair, offering a carbon neutral certified option.
On our path to achieve our overall sustainability goals, we’re reducing our carbon footprint, choosing and using materials responsibly and designing for circularity. Expect to see more sustainable product stories that help our clients reach their sustainability goals and read more in our industry-first transition plan, The Power of Possibility: A Net Zero Future Needs Us All.
We are at a moment of transformation for our business and the world we share. To address the realities of climate change, today we announce our commitment to a net-zero future. We plan to cut carbon emissions over 90% throughout our entire value chain by 2050, from three primary sources: our products, operations and transportation.
We’ve already established some of the most ambitious carbon reduction goals at a greater global scale than anyone in our industry. "The Power of Possibility," our net-zero transition plan published today, details the decisive action we are taking to help build a more sustainable and resilient world. This moment is a call to action. A net-zero future needs us all.
