Herman Miller’s Design Protocol Our commitment to corporate sustainability naturally includes minimizing the environmental impact of each of our products. Our Design for Environment team (DfE) applies environmentally sensitive design standards to both new and existing Herman Miller products. The DfE Design Protocol goes beyond regulatory compliance to thoroughly evaluate new product designs in four key areas: • Material Chemistry and Safety of Inputs— What chemicals are in the materials we specify, and are they the safest available? • Disassembly—Can we take products apart at the end of their useful life, to recycle their materials? • Recyclability—Do the materials contain recycled content, and more importantly, can the materials be recycled at the end of the product’s useful life? • LCA—Have we optimized the product based on the entire life cycle? level* Certification Equa 2 is level 1 certified. The level conformance mark ensures a comprehensive, independent, and impartial assessment of the environmental and social impacts of a product. For more information, go to www.levelcertified.org.
