sustainable day by day
From the beginning, Teknion has moved forward along a path to environmental and social performance. We understand sustainability as a basic tenet of good design. Sustainable principles guide the way we do business and govern our conduct every day.

creative collaborators
Understanding our customer is a first priority. As co-creators, our job is to listen and respond to each customer’s unique purposes, problems and goals. We want to know who you are, who you want to be, and how your work gets done.

entrepreneurial spirit
Born as an entrepreneurial company, Teknion preserves a spirit of initiative, ingenuity and persistence. Although we’ve grown from a handful of people to one of the leading manufacturers of contract furniture worldwide, we remain agile and accessible–a big company that acts like a small company.

Environmental Leadership        

A Legacy of Citizenship
For us, building a Legacy of Citizenship began with taking a series of steps, which in turn had a resonant effect on our business, our environment and the world. Advancing sustainability has become a cultural imperative within our company, supported at both an individual and corporate level.  We have structured our company to enable anyone from within it to ask “What if?”, enabling us to move beyond what is expected to what is imagined.

As we continue to build on our history of responsible decision-making, we have documented some of our efforts in this report.  These efforts align with our integrated operating values and core business strengths to address the needs and desires of our stakeholders—employees, architects, designers, customers and suppliers.
