MillerKnoll hit 100 percent renewable electricity for manufacturing. It is a good start, but the real challenge for furniture is the supply chain. I would like to see the actual numbers on their Scope 3 emissions before calling this a win.

Agreed. Circular design sounds great in a press release, but the logistics of refurbishment and take-back programs are expensive. If they can prove the payback period on those circular models, it becomes a real case study.

The USA Today list relies on Scope 1 and 2 data. That is a narrow window. For industrial collectives, the policy shift needs to move toward standardized Scope 3 reporting so we can see the full impact of material sourcing.

Quick question. Does that 100 percent renewable claim come from actual onsite generation or just buying RECs? There is a big difference in how that affects the local grid.
