UNITED KINGDOM - MillerKnoll is progressing to reduce its carbon footprint from operations and products by 50% by 2030. One of the ways the company plans to meet this goal is by investing in renewable energy.

Recently, the company announced that PortalMill, one of MillerKnoll’s manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.K., has completed solar panel installation and has begun generating its first solar-powered energy.

Energy improvements throughout the global network of facilities are part of an ongoing goal of reducing the company’s carbon footprint.

With this initiative, PortalMill is poised to produce 20% of its electricity through renewable solar power. As a result, the facility will offset 140 tons of CO2 per year.

Renewable energy projects like this not only protect the environment, but they also create lasting benefits within their local communities. Looking ahead, MillerKnoll intends to continue to invest in renewable energy, the planet, and local communities.
