Innovative Options for Building Greener Offices
Brunswick partners with organizations to create socially responsible, and environmentally sustainable office spaces. Consumer demand for Green has created new choices for building furniture that has less environmental impact.

From new finishes that are water- instead of solvent-based, to particleboard that doesn’t use formaldehyde, to sustainable forestry and wood harvesting practices, Brunswick embraces change. Brunswick helps organizations explore the options and create furniture that truly represents their values.
