HNI Corporation (NYSE: HNI) announced today it has again been recognized among America’s Most Responsible Companies, ranking number six among consumer goods companies and number 31 in the overall ranking on Newsweek's 2024 list. For the fifth year in a row HNI has ranked high on this list of the top 600 most responsible companies in the United States.

“HNI is honored to once again be named to the list of the most responsible companies in America," said Jeff Lorenger, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of HNI Corporation. "This acknowledgement underscores our commitment to corporate social responsibility as a core value and highlights the progress we are making on our long-term goals.

America's Most Responsible Companies were selected based on publicly available key performance indicators derived from social responsibility reports, sustainability reports, and an independent survey. The results are focused on company performance across environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance, while the independent survey asked U.S. citizens about their perception of company activities related to corporate social responsibility.

HNI is making progress on the company’s measurable goals, including achieving compliance by all tier one suppliers with HNI’s Code of Conduct, reducing absolute combined scope one and two greenhouse gas emissions by 64%, sourcing of 100% renewable electricity for global operations, and achieving zero waste to landfill at multiple facilities.
