Our Approach
We lead our industry in BIFMA LEVEL® certifications and are transparent about what is in our products. We strive to make the best possible design decisions that are safe and healthy for people and that have the least amount of impact on our planet. We believe in being transparent about these choices, so you can make better decisions too.
