July 23, 2025
At Kimball International, we have long been dedicated to sustainability, and we are continuously expanding our efforts to drive positive environmental change. Waste minimization has become a central focus as we adapt and improve our facilities to reduce their environmental footprints. Recently, our Danville, Kentucky, facility achieved the prestigious TRUE (Total Resource Use and Efficiency) Zero Waste certification from the Green Business Certification, Inc. (GBCI). This certification underscores our commitment to ongoing improvement and excellence in protecting both people and the planet, marking a significant milestone in our sustainability journey.
The Zero Waste initiative at Danville was designed with a range of strategic objectives aimed at revolutionizing waste management practices and enhancing sustainability across the site. By focusing on these objectives, the project not only sought to minimize waste output but also aimed to promote a holistic, long-term approach to resource management that reflects Kimball International’s unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and corporate social responsibility.
Kimball International’s Salem, Indiana, and Santa Claus, Indiana, facilities have also earned Zero Waste certifications.
“Achieving Zero Waste certification is a testament to our commitment to sustainability, demonstrating that environmental responsibility is at the core of our values. This accomplishment reflects our dedication to reducing our impact, innovating for the future, and leading by example in creating a more sustainable world for generations to come."
