KV RECOGNIZED AS STEELCASE 2024 CARBON REDUCTION LEADER

Knape & Vogt (KV) has been recognized as a Carbon Reduction Leader for committing to science-based emissions reductions. In response to the increasing urgency of the climate crisis, Steelcase set science-based targets in 2020, including a commitment to engage 80% of its suppliers by emissions to set their own science-based targets by 2025. This commitment recognizes the importance and necessity of collective action in addressing climate change, and the opportunity to create a greater impact on the world we share.

“Steelcase has long been a leader in sustainability,” said Derek Ludwig, Steelcase vice president and chief procurement officer. “We were the first in our industry to set ambitious science-based targets and to become carbon neutral in our operations. Because we know that addressing climate change requires collective action, we count our suppliers among our most important partners. Knape & Vogt has joined Steelcase in this work by committing to science-based emissions reductions, and so we are pleased to recognize the company as a 2024 Carbon Reduction Leader. We commend and thank KV for joining Steelcase in this shared commitment to climate action.”
