Our Impact
As a privately held, family-run company, we can look beyond quarterly results to take a long-term approach to our corporate responsibility. We invest in programs and processes that raise the bar and further sustainability, even in challenging times.
Understanding there is still much work to do, this report is a snapshot of where we are on our journey.
Transparency
Declare
Teknion uses Declare as a platform to transparently disclose our products’ composition including potential harmful materials as noted on the LBC Red List.
We currently have…
70+ products that are Red List Free
10 Declare labels with 100% ingredient transparency and
100% of all standard powder coat paints that meet the Red List Free Criteria
Minimizing Environmental Footprint
Science Based Certification
Teknion is one of 5000+ companies and financial institutions setting Science-based Targets. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis.
Over the years, Teknion has diligently strived to minimize our environmental footprint. In partnering with SBTi, we are making sure that we are meeting or exceeding our goals.
We are excited to share that we have received approval for our “Near-Term Science Based Targets” from SBTi.
Diversity | Equity | Inclusion
JUST. Label
Just is a program administered by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI). Like ILFI’s Declare ingredient label, it provides a transparent, publishable scorecard of our efforts across six key categories. Measuring how we are doing and where we need to improve, Just provides an additional layer of learning through ILFI, with whom we have a ten-year plus relationship. Just is supported and recognized throughout well-established building standards like LEED and WELL.
