A BETTER WORLD
"Creating a better world is at the heart of Herman Miller and the real reason why many of us come to work every day."
--from Herman Miller's Corporate Values
Our values are the basis for Herman Miller's corporate community. One of the nine things that matter most to us
is called "A Better World." For us, contributing to a better world takes many forms--community service, inclusiveness and diversity, environmental advocacy, and the health and well-being of our communities.
Our 2008 Better World Report is an update about our ongoing attempts to live up to our values. Are we perfect? Of course not. Do we keep making progress? Yes, we do. Building a better world for Herman Miller is not so much a goal as an everyday fact of life.
Like volunteerism and good corporate citizenship, environmentalism has been alive and well at Herman Miller for a long time. Our formal environmental programs and Environmental Quality Action Teams started in the late 1980s when a group of employees pushed senior management to take a strong position on the environment and take actions to back up the words.
