Net zero Steelcase announces goal to be carbon negative by 2030
Sunday, 21 February 2021
After achieving carbon neutrality across its operations, Steelcase is now targeting new goals to be carbon negative by 2030.
Motivated by the urgency of climate change, Steelcase expanded upon its existing renewable energy commitments with the purchase of carbon offsets. In 2020, Steelcase achieved a reduction of more than 30 per cent in greenhouse gas emissions over the previous ten years. While the carbon neutral (net zero) target has been achieved by removing as much carbon as it emits, the company is now taking its commitment further with a goal to become carbon negative by 2030, which it plans to accomplish by reducing emissions across its operations with targets in line with climate science.
