Effective December 1, 2009, Knoll established FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood as the standard for general office open plan office systems, casegoods and tables. Once again, Knoll is advancing industry-leading standards for environmental sustainability with an initiative that makes it easier for the design community and Knoll customers to blend environmental responsibility with workplace planning.
As a leading advocate for independent third-party certification, which provides the most impartial and trustworthy foundation of industry compliance, Knoll is working with FSC and the Rainforest Alliance to assure that FSC certified wood will be provided without asking, at no surcharge, and at standard lead times on wood open plan office systems, casegoods and tables with the exception of KnollStudio products.
The FSC Certified Wood Standard applies to the following open plan office systems—AutoStrada, Currents, Dividends Horizon, Equity, Morrison, Reff, Template—as well as the Graham Collection, Interaction Tables, Magnusson Desks and Upstart Tables.
