People & Community

We empower our 7,000+ members around the world to connect and bring a spirit of optimism, drive, inclusiveness, and appreciation for service. We recognize that our success is intrinsically linked to the health and vitality of the communities where we live and work. It is an honor and privilege to apply the assets, capabilities, and resources that help make us successful to efforts that help communities thrive.

Circular Economy

A circular economy optimizes continual use of resources, reducing waste, and enabling a closed loop system. It is one of the biggest opportunities to design a sustainable future – and an essential part of our strategy.

Operational Performance

As we focus on improving our global footprint, manufacturing and environmental responsibility are not trade-offs – neither are profit and people. We continue to seek opportunities to address the environmental impact of our business in all facets of our operations

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

We are committed to creating and sustaining an environment that encourages many backgrounds and cultures where the contributions of all stakeholders are valued and respected.

Our Unique Culture

Haworth started in our founder’s garage and, since then, three generations of one family have been guided by core values that influence how we live and operate in global markets. As our family continues to grow and evolve, so too do the ways we understand, respect, embrace, and support all our employees, whom we call members. Our approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) further galvanizes this foundation. Explore our inclusive culture where uniqueness is valued and fairness is ensured.
