MillerKnoll, a collective of dynamic design brands, announces that it has been named to Newsweek’s 2026 list of America’s Greenest Companies. This list recognizes the top U.S. companies for environmental sustainability in key areas such as greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and sustainability data disclosure and commitments. This national recognition underscores MillerKnoll’s dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
“Design isn’t just what we make — it’s how we make it,” said Gabe Wing, Vice President of Sustainability at MillerKnoll. “From the materials we choose to the energy we use, every decision is an opportunity to live our values. Recognition like this tells us we’re heading in the right direction.”
In the past year, MillerKnoll has made significant strides to transition to renewable energy, increase the recycled content of its products, and improve recyclability of materials . Examples of key initiatives:
Renewable Energy & Waste Reduction: MillerKnoll now uses 100% renewable electricity across all global manufacturing facilities. The company is also committed to reducing waste across all manufacturing processes.
Sustainable Product Design & Innovation: By reengineering timeless designs with lower-impact materials and processes, MillerKnoll is extending product lifecycles and reducing environmental impact while maintaining durability, aesthetics, and performance.
Innovative Materials and Safe Chemistry: The company prioritizes natural, low-carbon, and recycled materials and works to ensure that its products are safe for people and the planet.
Smart Packaging and Logistics: Since 2020, MillerKnoll has removed more than one million pounds of single-use plastic packaging across its global operations — the equivalent weight of 111 elephants.
MillerKnoll’s inclusion on Newsweek’s America’s Greenest Companies 2026 list follows recent major sustainability and innovation award wins including Fast Company’s Best Workplaces for Innovators and Business Intelligence Group’s Sustainability Leadership Award, underscoring its leadership in sustainable product design.
The America’s Greenest Companies ranking, developed by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group and GIST Impact, evaluates publicly available sustainability data from U.S. public and private organizations that meet European Union sustainability standards.
