HAWORTH RELEASES FIFTH ANNUAL SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

Holland, MI- May 31, 2010 - Haworth continued its sustainable journey by releasing a 2009 sustainability report – the company’s fifth annual.

In 2009, the company achieved a particularly noteworthy goal: zero waste to landfill achievement. A first in the industry – and one of the first in any industry – to gain this status for U.S. manufacturing facilities and global headquarters, joining Shanghai, China and Pune, India manufacturing facilities. The company continues to move forward toward a global goal of zero waste across the entire organization.

The company reported on sustainable products, sustainable workspace design, energy management, reducing energy, greenhouse gas emissions, green transportation, green building, sustainable site management, social responsibility and stakeholder engagement.  The Haworth report is prepared with consideration for the Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines version G3.

The company is guided by a sustainability vision: Haworth will be a sustainable corporation. We engage our employees in more sustainable practices; we initiate and use processes that are neutral or improve our environment; and we utilize our resources in ways that create adaptable and sustainable workspace solutions for our customers. We do all of this globally to protect and restore our environment, create economic value, and support and strengthen our communities.
