Knoll awarded level™ 3 Certification
Scientific Certification Systems has certified Knoll’s Dividends Horizon® office furniture system to level™ 3–the highest tier attainable in the BIFMA level™ certification for furniture sustainability. The Dividends Horizon system was designed to promote open, shared workstations and is the industry’s first office systems product to receive level™ 3.
During the level certification process, SCS auditors examined the product and the organization and facilities that produced it. Knoll and its product were scored according to sustainability criteria in four areas: Materials, Energy and Atmosphere, Human and Ecosystem Health, and Social Responsibility. “Knoll is taking leadership steps toward sustainability,” said Stowe Hartridge-Beam, level™ program manager at Scientific Certification Systems. “Knoll’s level™ 3 certification reflects their achievements in waste and greenhouse gas emissions reduction, human and ecosystem health, and social responsibility.”
The Dividends Horizon certification was only the second level™ 3 certificate ever issued, joining the Think® chair from Steelcase on this elite list.
