CBS launches 2026 Sustainability Report

Colebrook Bosson Saunders (CBS), an independent brand within the Herman Miller collective, launched its 2026 Sustainability Report on August 13, 2026. The report details progress against its 2030 sustainability targets across carbon reduction, circular design, material transparency, packaging, supplier engagement, and community impact. CBS cut total carbon emissions by 8.06% against its FY2023 baseline, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions down 87.8% and Scope 3 emissions down 7.47%. The company mapped the carbon footprint of 100% of its top-selling products, representing 80% of net sales, and reduced the lifecycle carbon footprint of its Flo and Flo Modular monitor arms by 33% each. CBS also expanded bulk packaging, with 99.8% of products delivered in plastic-free packaging, and replaced harder-to-recycle plastics with polypropylene. In 2026, CBS was awarded a Diamond climate strategy rating by Greenly, ranking it among the top 1% of assessed organizations. The company holds ISO 14001 and SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certifications, and aligns with science-based emissions targets as part of the Herman Miller collective, which holds a Gold Medal from EcoVadis. CBS strengthened material transparency, covering 94.4% of products by net sales, and committed to phasing out PFAS, with all products launched since March 2025 free from intentionally added PFAS. The company hosted over 70 ergonomic education events reaching 3,000 professionals across 14 countries. Managing director Stacey Humphreys emphasized that high-performing products and genuine sustainability progress are not mutually exclusive.
