- 100% renewable energy sources for its global electricity use
- 60% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions per ton of products sold (accounting for renewable energy credits)
- 15% reduction in natural gas use
- 13% decrease in electricity use
- 13% reduction in Scope 3 emissions
- 8% decrease in energy consumption per product sold
“More than ever, it is clear to me that the connections among our business, our environment, and our people, including customers, members, suppliers, and communities where we do business, are critical to our collective long-term success as we make better choices today for a better tomorrow,” said Jeff Lorenger, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of HNI Corporation, in a statement. “We have built upon the goals we set in 2018 to increase our transparency, our positive impacts, and our commitments to the planet and our members.”
