Have you heard our news!??! Now, 100% of our Kimball Office manufactured products are ANSI/BIFMA level 2 or 3 Certified! If you’re looking for eco-friendly products, Kimball Office is your answer! From casegoods to systems, and tables to seating, Kimball Office has you covered.

“By offering level 3 furniture in all major product categories, more than any other manufacturer, we are able to provide the market with solutions that meet growing demand for green standards. Our team has worked extremely hard to ensure we meet and exceed BIFMA’s standards for product development, manufacturing, and corporate responsibility.” Georgy Olivieri, Director of Architecture, Design, and Sustainable Strategies, LEED AP.

The BIFMA level certification program evaluates the environmental aspects of product manufacturing throughout the supply chain. Many layers of the process are reviewed, including general areas of materials and energy usage. The effects on human and ecosystem health are examined as well as overall corporate social responsibility. There are three levels of conformance, with each requiring specific prerequisites and optional credits. Level 3 is the highest level of certification.

For specifics on the products and levels, visit our Fact Sheet.  Kimball Office products can also be found on www.ecoScorecard.com for a quick and simple way to research sustainable products and download documentation for green building programs such as LEED.
