ENVIRONMENTAL METRICS REPORTING
Measuring the furniture
specifications you are planning for
the expansion of your GHQ against
the rigor of recognized and
respected certifications in
sustainability is an effective way to
understand the environmental
performance of products you
purchase from Steelcase. This
Environmental Metrics Report includes
data on your product mix against
dimensions of potential contributions to
LEED, indoor air quality, BIFMA level
certification and Cradle to Cradle
certification. As well, we’ve included
aggregate recycled content data.
We look forward to our discussion.

STEELCASE ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS AND INITIATIVES CUSTOMER’S REQUEST
WHAT IS IT?
Developed by the US Green Building Council, LEED is intended to provide
building owners and operators a concise framework for measurable green
building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions.
WHY IS THIS RELEVANT TO YOU?
• LEED certification offers a way to demonstrate your commitment green
building
• Steelcase can potentially help you with your green building goals in the
following ways:
• Recycled content
• Regional materials
• Rapidly renewable materials
• Certified wood
• Low-emitting materials
• Daylight and views
• Sustainable purchasing
• Innovation credits
LEED BUILDING CERTIFICATION CONTRIBUTIONS
WHAT IS IT?
We pursue industry-independent, third-party testing and indoor air
quality certification for many of our products and materials through
the Scientific Certification Systems Indoor Advantage™ program:
• Demonstrates compliance to ANSI/BIFMA criteria for low-emitting
furniture.
• Indoor Advantage Gold certification also demonstrates compliance
to California 01350, ASHRAE 189.1, and
CHPS Collaborative for High Performance Schools Criteria
for furniture.
WHY IS THIS RELEVANT TO YOU?
• People spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, either at
home, work, or school. SCS Certified furniture can help limit the
amount of VOCs and other pollutants going into the air around you.
• SCS Indoor Advantage Certified furniture may contribute towards
points needed for the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED
certification.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
level
WHAT IS IT?
The BIFMA e3 sustainability standard was developed specifically
for the contract furniture industry. It is a point-based system that
spans social responsibility, energy use, materials selection, and
human and ecosystem health impacts. Manufacturers earn points
in these categories, and can certify their products at three
different levels
WHY IS THIS RELEVANT TO YOU?
• This certification allows for an apples to apples comparison of
products across the furniture industry.
• The objective is to provide a measurable market-based
definitions of progressively more sustainable furniture.
BIFMA LEVEL CERTIFICATION
WHAT IS IT?
The Cradle to Cradle Certified program is a multi-attribute eco-
label that assesses a product’s impact on humans and the
environment and evaluates its design for future life cycles.
We offer more Cradle to Cradle Certified products than any other
company in any industry globally.
WHY IS THIS RELEVANT TO YOU?
• Cradle to Cradle certification is internationally recognized
across all industries.
• The program provides guidelines to help businesses implement
the Cradle to Cradle framework, which focuses on using
materials evaluated for environmental and human health and
components that can be disassembled and recycled as
technical nutrients or composted as biological nutrients
CRADLE TO CRADLE
RECYCLED CONTENT
The portion of a product that is made from materials that are
diverted from the waste stream.
There are two types of recycled content:
• PRE-CONSUMER: Materials that have not fulfilled a life in a
product. This can be materials that are leftover in the
manufacturing process that are diverted from the waste stream
(e.g., recycling leftover trimmings from a fabric mill).
• POST-CONSUMER: Materials / products that have served their
purpose to consumers and are ‘waste’ to the end-user. These
materials are to be repurposed or reprocessed to become a
part in a new product. (i.e., steel that was recovered from a
Think Chair at the end of its life).
RECYCLABLE CONTENT
The potential % or portion of the product that can be
disassembled / broken down and reprocessed to avoid sending it
to landfill or incineration.

SUSTAINABILITY
Based on our review of the environmental metrics of
your current product mix, we would suggest the following
opportunities and next steps:
1. Consider the IAQ percentage: can we increase this
to 100%?
2. Consider BIFMA level certification: are you interested
in introducing a new certification into your green
procurement guidelines?
3. Consider Cradle to Cradle certification: are you
interested in introducing a new certification into your
green procurement guidelines?
4. The recycled content metrics may resonate with your
internal stakeholders (communications pieces).
5. Discuss opportunities for real estate optimization
while supporting new ways of working.
6. Link environmental goals to wellness initiatives.
7. What would you like to see next?

STEELCASE SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
In 2006, we pledged to reduce our global environmental footprint by 25
percent by 2012. Reducing our environmental footprint globally means
keeping careful watch on our greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption,
energy use, and waste.
Since the goal reset in 2006, the company has reduced its greenhouse gas
emissions by 37 percent, its water consumption by 54 percent and VOC
emissions by 53 percent, and its waste by 23 percent.
Since Steelcase began tracking these metrics in 2001, the company’s
cumulative reduction has been 58 percent, 75 percent, 95 percent and 71
percent, respectively.
