We are excited to announce that HNI Corporation, once again, has been recognized among America’s Most Responsible Companies, ranking No. 36 on Newsweek's 2025 list and number three within the Retail and Consumer Goods category. This marks the sixth consecutive year that HNI has been featured on the prestigious list of the top 600 most responsible companies in the United States.
“We are honored to once again be named to the list of America’s Most Responsible Companies," said Jeff Lorenger, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of HNI Corporation. "This achievement reflects our steadfast commitment to corporate responsibility and highlights the progress we are making toward our long-term sustainability goals. We are proud to see our efforts recognized and grateful for the ongoing dedication of our team.”
America's Most Responsible Companies are selected from 2,000 of the largest publicly traded companies headquartered in the United States. The overall score is based on quantitative data from more than 30 key performance indicators across the three areas of environmental, social, and governance, derived from publicly available information and an extensive survey conducted among U.S. residents, assessing the public’s perception of each company's responsibility efforts.
HNI Corporation has continued to build on its decades-long commitment to operating responsibly. This effort is focused on three pillars: reducing impacts from operations, redefining tomorrow to create more sustainable products, and respecting people. HNI is making progress on the company’s measurable goals, including reductions in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, achieving zero waste to landfill at multiple facilities, and reducing energy use.
