Kimball has completed a baseline Greenhouse Gas profile of all domestic manufacturing facilities. A Greenhouse Gas tracking system has been developed and is being implemented to verify continuous improvement results. We will continue to evaluate processes, equipment, and other energy sources for reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions.

Dust collection systems installed at Kimball manufacturing facilities since the 1970's remove 99% of all particulate matter from the air, improving the working environment for employees. During the winter season, the cleaned and heated air is returned into the manufacturing areas, thus reducing energy demand and reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions.

Kimball International operations have been substituting less harmful chemicals or eliminating them entirely at its facilities since 1990. These efforts have resulted in reductions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) emissions by 35%, or 789 tons, since 1990.

Reducing vehicle fuel usage and emissions earned Kimball's truck fleet certification by the (EPA) Environmental Protection Agency as a "SmartWay" Partner. Kimball's ranking in the top 25th percentile of partners reflects a high level of success saving diesel fuel and reducing emissions.
