by AF 0624 g3 — June 29, 2009—The Steelcase Think Chair is the first product to receive level 3 certification to the new Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer’s Association (BIFMA) e3 sustainability standard. Think was independently certified by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS). Level 3 certification is the highest level of achievement possible in this BIFMA certification program. The announcement was made during NeoCon World’s Trade Fair in Chicago.
The e3 standard represents BIFMA’s first multi-attribute sustainability standard specifically for furniture. The standard has multiple conformance levels, i.e. levels 1, 2, or 3 with level 3 being the highest. Products are certified using a point system that encompasses both product and facility characteristics and environmentally friendly corporate policies.
