“It’s important that Haworth’s sustainability journey make it easy for our customers to achieve their goals,” said Dominic Daunter, Haworth Global Innovation, Design and Sustainability Director. “Our industry has a strong, historical desire for sustainable products and stakeholders constantly strive for better ways to build out spaces. This Ecomedes tool is a powerful connection towards this goal.”
Haworth’s Ecomedes site is free and allows users to specify products by considering environmental goals and third-party standards by evaluating, measuring and tracking sustainability impact. Information is available for almost 350 Haworth products across the brand portfolio, including seating, tables, workspaces, architectural interiors, casegoods, privacy/phone booths, lighting and accessories.
