An Awarding Winning Organisation
Recipient of numerous international design honours, including the Smithsonian's National Design Award, Herman Miller is also known for innovative business practices and a commitment to social responsibility. Together these attributes have established Herman Miller as a recognized global leader in areas as diverse as employee ownership, “lean” manufacturing, and environmental sustainability. Innovative business practices and a commitment to social responsibility have also established Herman Miller as a recognised global company. In 2011, Herman Miller again received the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s top rating in its annual Corporate Equality Index and was also cited by FORTUNE as the "Most Admired" company in the contract furniture industry. Herman Miller trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol MLHR.

A Global Presence
Established in 1923, Herman Miller expanded beyond North America in the 1950’s. Since then, it has been helping customers with the complexity of designing and planning global workplaces. Herman Miller customers engage with a partner whose global support and expertise enables fast and efficient service to local and multinational companies, worldwide. Manufacturing and distribution facilities are located in the U.S., U.K., Italy, and China, while sales offices and showrooms are strategically located throughout the U.S. and Europe, as well as in the major commercial zones in Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia. Herman Miller’s geographic presence ensures a consistent global offer in order to build a better world around its customers, wherever they may be. International awards and accolades include the Red Dot Award for product design, and the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, which was presented by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Committed to the Environment
The company’s core competency is innovation, using problem-solving, research-based design to target existing and emerging social change and customer needs. To realize its product vision, Herman Miller works exclusively with a network of leading independent designers, combined with a diverse and global supply chain, to develop innovative solutions.

As a recognized leader in environmentally responsible product design and business operations, Herman Miller advocates for the environment—notably with the company’s Design for Environment (DfE) protocol. These efforts have resulted in products and programs that identify Herman Miller with customers who share their passion for treating the natural environment with respect. The company’s earliest formal environmental statements date from 1953, when founder D.J. DePree noted, “We will be good stewards of the environment.” Since then, accountable practices and production have been at the heart of the company’s operations, resulting in numerous awards and accolades. As a result, Herman Miller is the only company in its industry named to the Dow Jones Global Sustainability Index.
