Our Environmental Position Statement

We will:

• Inform our employees about our corporation's whole effort; help them to understand their individual roles in making that effort successful
• Reduce consumption of raw materials in our operations. Reuse rather than dispose, and recycle whenever practical.
• Make efficient use of resources that can be reused, reduced and/or recycled in our office and operational functions and in our product content
  • Use recycled/recycled-content supplies, components and products
  • In our products:
    • Panel blanks are made of recycled wood products and paper
    • Plastic raceway covers are manufactured from 60% recycled products; they are fully recyclable
    • All steel components are 100% reuseable/recycleable
    • All aluminum components are 100% reuseable/recycleable
    • Use water-soluble adhesives
    • Use powder coat paints eliminating VOC emissions
    • Many standard fabric offerings include Terratex, created from post consumer wastes
  • Re-use cartoning and packing material where possible in manufacturing; minimize use of packing material where possible in bulk packing
  • We design our products to share as many items or components as possible and to cross-integrate, in many cases, with existing OEM products from which their designs are based

Environmental Sustainability Commitment

Compatico is committed to promoting sustainable work environments and business practices which balance concerns for protection of our environment and its resources, prudent business practices and social responsibility. We use as our framework the Sustainability Guidelines of the Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturers Association International (BIFMA).

We continuously update our practices to progress toward these goals throughout all areas of our operation. We strive to ensure that our employees as well as our investors are aware of this commitment to this goal of becoming an increasingly sustainable and environmentally responsible company.
