Really Good Stuff – Statement on Sustainability

Really Good Stuff is committed to fostering a more sustainable future by thoughtfully incorporating environmental awareness into our business in ways that make sense for our customers, employees, and stakeholders. We strive to source materials responsibly, seek opportunities to reduce waste and conserve resources, and encourage innovative practices that minimize environmental impact without compromising quality or value.  We are proud that our Environments® brand of furniture is GREENGUARD® Certified, ensuring low chemical emissions for healthier indoor air quality in learning spaces. Where feasible, we incorporate sustainable materials such as bamboo into our product development and source corrugate cartons from Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI)–certified suppliers. We also actively promote the efficient use of energy and materials, as well as recycling across our facilities—diverting hundreds of tons of paper, cardboard, and plastics, and electronic equipment from landfills each year—which contributes to measurable savings in trees, water, electricity, and landfill space.  In fact, our Kansas City facility earned an Environmental Excellence Award for its compliant practices in paint manufacturing, further reflecting our commitment to minimizing environmental impact.  By combining responsible sourcing, sustainable product design, and mindful operational practices across our operations, we aim to create lasting value for our customers while supporting environmental responsibility.


Really Good Stuff - Sustainability Policy
At Really Good Stuff, we recognize the importance of environmental stewardship and the role we can play in fostering a more sustainable future. Our primary responsibility is to deliver high-quality products and services that meet the needs of our customers, employees, and stakeholders, and we aim to do so with an awareness of our environmental impact.
Our approach to sustainability is guided by the following aspirations:

• Thoughtful Sourcing – Where feasible, explore opportunities to source products, materials, and packaging from suppliers that demonstrate sustainable practices, such as the use of renewable resources, certified forestry products, or reduced environmental impact manufacturing processes.
• Efficient Operations – Seek ways to improve operational efficiency through resource conservation, energy savings, and waste reduction when such measures align with business needs and customer expectations.
• Responsible Waste Management – Promote recycling, reuse, and responsible disposal of materials, including packaging, equipment, and office supplies, and including efforts to minimize our environmental footprint in our domestic paint manufacturing operations.
• Innovation and Continuous Improvement – Encourage teams to identify and evaluate new technologies, processes, or designs that may reduce environmental impact without compromising product quality, safety, or value.
• Awareness and Engagement – Foster an organizational culture that is mindful of sustainability by sharing information, ideas, and best practices across departments.
• Community Considerations – When feasible, choose solutions and partnerships that not only serve our business goals but also positively contribute to the communities where we operate.

This policy reflects our commitment to integrating sustainability into our decision-making where it best supports our customers, employees, and stakeholders, while supporting environmental responsibility.
