Humanscale, the leading designer and manufacturer of innovative high-performance ergonomic products that offer wellness and comfort wherever work happens, has announced that it is certified as a B Corporation™ (B Corp™), recognizing the company’s commitment to social and environmental responsibility and reinforcing its longstanding leadership in sustainability.
B Lab, a non-profit organization, rigorously assesses businesses across five Impact Area pillars: governance, workers, community, environment, and customer impact. To earn B Corp status, companies must meet high standards in these areas.
“Humanscale leads the charge as the only major brand in the commercial furniture industry to be B Corp certified,” said Sathish Nandagopal, Founder & Director, S Cube.” It is our hope that Humanscale’s certification will encourage other companies to follow suit in making a real, positive difference for the future of our planet.”
“At Humanscale, we believe that it’s our responsibility to ensure that both people and the planet are better off because we’re here,” said Bob King, Founder and CEO of Humanscale. “We have led the industry in embracing systemic change for multiple decades, from implementing transparency labels on our products and eliminating many of the commonly used Red-List chemicals, to launching the world’s first task chair made from reclaimed fishing nets. By putting in the hard work and making tough decisions, we hope to lead the rest of our industry to be more responsible.” Guided by the core philosophy that good design achieves more with less, Humanscale is committed to the health of both consumers and the planet. Humanscale has been recognized as the first manufacturer to receive an International Living Future Institute’s Living Product Challenge (LPC) – considered the most advanced sustainability standard for products – as climate, water, and energy positive with 29 certified climate positive products, accounting for 75% of their product sale.
