By year-end, suppliers representing nearly two-thirds of supplier-based emissions had set SBTi-validated carbon reduction targets or committed to setting them. Customers purchased nearly 50,000 certified CarbonNeutral products in 2025, and Circular by Steelcase kept 99% of decommissioned furniture and equipment out of landfills by reusing or recycling more than 600 tons of material.\n\n\"Our commitments to people and the planet help focus the choices we make, the partnerships we build and the value we create,\" said Megan Blazina, senior vice president, international, digital and strategy at Steelcase, who also leads sustainability and social impact. \"The progress in this report reflects how we're turning those commitments into action.\"\n\n## Community Partnerships and Volunteer Hours\n\nThe Better Futures Community activated 324 partnerships in 38 of 72 Steelcase locations, working with 200 community partners.
