As a modern manufacturer, we strive to minimize the environmental impacts of our products across their lifecycle. Our product sustainability goals include:

• Incorporating sustainable design principles into our product development process

• Assessing the use of raw materials in our products and identifying opportunities to reduce product environmental impacts

• Advancing programs to identify, reduce, and eliminate chemicals of concern within our products and manufacturing processes

Here is some of the progress we’ve made within our businesses toward these goals.

Sustainable Innovation in Product Design

Our Adjustable Bed business redesigned an adjustable bed base that is lighter and more compact than the previous model. This new design results in the reduction of container and truck shipments annually, leading to potential fuel and emissions reductions during the transportation of the product to customers.

Responsible Use of Raw Materials

In our Automotive business, post consumer-grade recycled nylon and plastic are used to manufacture components. In addition, an operation in our Work Furniture business uses more than 400 tons of 100% post-consumer plastics and post-industrial waste each year to create high-quality structural components.

Chemical Management Programs

In 2023, we reviewed technology solutions that would enable the development of an enhanced database to track chemicals more efficiently and to improve and inform decision-making processes related to chemical management in our businesses.

We recently published our 2024 Sustainability Report, which details our approach, commitment, and progress towards environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters that are most important to our business.

We’d like to share a few key enhancements to this year’s report:

• Identifying five areas of focus and our corresponding goals for each area

• Improving our environmental management system disclosures and sharing about the launch of the Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) Center of Excellence

• Highlighting significant investment and changes to attract and retain talent and engage our employees

• Disclosing four years of Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions (2019-2022)

• Expanding our supplier engagement strategies, including a Supplier Diversity Council

Thank you for your ongoing dedication and support as we continue to build on our sustainability practices. Read our full Sustainability Report here.

Our work furniture team at Trio Line in Poland recently organized internal biodiversity actions with their building management company. Due to a planned sustainability building certification, Trio Line had a visit from an ecologist who recommended implementing sustainable practices.

The team’s efforts have already started to bear fruit. They helped to plant 10 trees around the building and ivy to cover the entryway’s acoustic wall, enhancing the property’s aesthetics and contributing to a healthier environment. Additionally, Trio Line found other solutions for biodiversity, including birdhouses and hotels for insects.

Thank you to Trio Line for your commitment to sustainability and your care for our planet!

L&P Flooring Products uses more than 100 million pounds of post-industrial and post-consumer Flexible Polyurethane Foam scrap per year to produce their foam flooring underlayment products, reducing landfill burden and conserving resources.

Post-industrial waste is generated from block manufacture and trimming scraps during the fabrication of products such as mattresses, upholstered furniture, and automotive seating. Post-consumer waste comes from end-of-life upholstered furniture, mattresses, carpet cushion, and automotive interior parts.

By repurposing post-industrial and post-consumer scrap, L&P Flooring Products not only creates functional foam products but also honors our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.

Throughout April, we’ve been sharing impactful tips to practice at home or work so we can all do our part to promote a greener future. By taking small actions together, we can make a big difference for our planet.

This week, we’re sharing how connecting with nature can promote sustainable habits!
