You can feel confident when shopping with us that we are always looking for ways, both large and small, that make a difference for us
and for future generations. We know we aren't always perfect, but we're committed to working toward more sustainable solutions,
from the architecture of our stores, to the materials and manufacturing of our furniture.
Choices made today can have a far-reaching effect, so it's our responsibility to ensure that every decision we make reflects our
values—and yours. You will find that our products and our stores are designed to not only look beautiful, but are also built in a
way that respects the environment. For example, we made the choice to install photovoltaic cells, like the ones shown here, in our
San Francisco store. This system allows us to convert sunlight into electricity. With this technology, we help the store create its
own energy and can even give energy back to the power grid.
We continue to create furniture with timeless designs that will look and live great for years to come. This isn't disposable
design—we choose materials that won't wear out or get thrown out. We've added to our bamboo collection this year, for example,
with this ideal in mind. Highly renewable and incredibly strong, this uncommon material creates furniture of exceptional beauty and durability.
We've developed long-standing partnerships with artisans and furniture makers who understand that great design is more than beautiful
products. It's about creating pieces with integrity and vision. Take Wood Castle, the Oregon-based manufacturer of our Calvin collection.
They use Pacific Coast maple from one of the world's most carefully managed forests. Three trees are planted for every one that is
harvested, and every piece of furniture is constructed and finished with as little waste as possible.
