Merchants of Virtue: Herman Miller and the Making of a Sustainable Company

Merchants of Virtue -- The one-of-a-kind book about a company’s journey to sustainability -- the people, their process, and their commitment to the bigger purpose of making the world a better place. Starting in 1990, Herman Miller, Inc., started on a 20-year drive to turn itself into an environmental leader. The premier maker of office furniture soon became a role model for corporate responsibility.

Author Bill Birchard reveals the inner workings of the company, the personalities of its in-the-trenches leaders, and how the company set a new standard of behavior. Starting with slashing shipments of waste to landfills, the people of Herman Miller revamped manufacturing processes, building architecture, product design, finances, and much more to win countless awards as a responsible citizen.
