Reducing our Footprint. Increasing our Handprint.
Living Products will be designed to generate or conserve more energy over their entire life cycle than is required to produce them.
All Humanscale ergonomic chairs are designed to use the sitter’s own body weight and the laws of physics to encourage movement and provide unparalleled comfort.
Humanscale monitor arms offer the ultimate stability and effortless functionality to instantly create a more ergonomic workstation.
Balanced movement is the key to wellness at work. Humanscale sit/stand products were designed to make changing postures throughout the day effortless.
Humanscale separation panels and desk dividers are easy to install, highly customizable, and designed to accommodate any office environment.
Humanscale's line of advanced LED task lights was designed with function, simplicity, and beauty in mind for unparalleled performance.
Keyboard systems are a crucial component of an ergonomic workstation, they reduce hunched typing postures to maximise comfort and wellness at work.
Our technology tools eliminate cable clutter and improve the comfort, health, and performance of today’s computer user.
Cable management solutions promote a more organised workspace and keep under-desk areas neat and hazard-free.
Discover a full range of ergonomic work tools from Humanscale that keep desks clutter-free and improve comfort in the workplace.
Humanscale has implemented renewable energy as we work to create a manufacturing environment that gives more back to the earth and its communities than it takes.
Living Products will be designed to generate or conserve more energy over their entire life cycle than is required to produce them.
A footprint is the measure of negative impact on the Earth's ecosystems. Our Life-Cycle Assessment calculates the amount of water, energy and carbon used across our supply chain: from extraction of resources, to processing, manufacturing, assembly, and shipping.
A handprint is the measure of positive impacts on the environment. It is calculated from improvements in our materials, processes and operations, or from new activities and initiatives we implement to make a positive contribution.
The goal of the Living Product Challenge is to ensure that the sum total of all footprints and handprints equals an overall positive contribution to the earth.
We have calculated our total energy footprint by looking at how energy is used by our facilities, shippers and suppliers. By 2019, with help from programs we are implementing to increase energy efficiency in various parts of the world, Humanscale's energy handprint will be larger than our footprint.
Positive Environmental Handprint
We continually reduce our footprint as much as possible. Once production becomes extremely efficient, the footprint will stay fairly constant from year to year.
Net Positive Handprint
Negative Environmental Footprint
Energy is primarily used for the formulation of polypropylene and nylon, injection molding of nylon, and die casting aluminum.
Negative Environmental
Footprint
The manufacturer must develop and publicly share a three-year plan to reduce the product's energy footprint and create an energy handprint greater than the footprint.
Solar panels in our factory produce two and a half times the energy required to assemble Diffrient Smart chairs and Float tables.
