Since starting this company almost 40 years ago with my father, Saul, everything and nothing has changed. While the office landscape has dramatically evolved over the past 10 years, and we have matured into a leading international manufacturer of furniture, the character of our company has remained the same. We are human, bold, curious, connected and ready.

I believe the success of our sustainability efforts is rooted in our approach – which has always been to do what feels right – in the way we collaborate with our customers to win great projects, in the way our employees give back to community causes they feel strongly about, and in the way we incorporate people with different abilities and perspectives into our organization.

We do what’s right because it makes us a more competitive company and a better place where generations of people want to work. It’s not always the easiest way but it takes us further.

I am proud of how far we have come. As a family and a community, we have always risen to any challenge presented to us. We remain consistent to the substance of our goals, not just the narrative of sustainability. We have never shied away from what’s difficult. Lots of work remains to be done, and I look forward to doing it together.

Yours truly, David Feldberg
President & CEO 

Since our last Impact Report, Teknion has grown significantly and we have expanded our portfolio through our family of brands. As we continue to grow, our challenge has now become to align our network of partners and come together to ensure we design and manufacture our products in a way that delivers a better future for everyone. Collectively we are using our foundational programs as a tool for guiding our efforts to reduce, then eliminate environmental impacts while doubling down on carbon output reduction.

We have come a long way and have solved interesting challenges that are measured by our customers, LEED and WELL. The foundation programs that we use to educate and guide our teams are built across a broad range of third-party standards, which we use to disrupt our thoughts, and establish a creative tension across our organization, enabling us all to change and do better. We are experiencing the fact that the pursuit of sustainable development gets more difficult the further we advance. Perhaps being harder to do just means that, in many ways, we are on the right path. Our teams’ results encourage me. However, it is our unique culture that I know creates the organizational passion for us to continue to move forward.

Thank you for allowing us to share with you our progress and our commitment. We hope you have found it interesting.

Sincerely, Scott Deugo
Chief Sustainability & Sales Officer
