National Office Furniture Revenue and Competitors

National Office Furniture is committed to providing quality products that will improve indoor air quality, increase the use of sustainable materials and reduce impacts to climate change. In the area of indoor air quality, National has achieved certification on a variety of products to the Indoor Advantage T program from Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) by meeting the BIFMA Furniture Emissions Standard (FES) for office furniture. Many other National products earn the more stringent Indoor Advantage T Gold mark from SCS for meeting the FES requirements and also the California 01350 Special Environmental Requirements and Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS). In further support of our commitment to indoor air quality, National recently introduced IntegraClearT, an environmentally-friendly, high performance finish. This preeminent, water-based UV finish process plays an integral role in National achieving certifications to industry sustainable standards today and in the future. Moving beyond indoor air quality and into a more holistic view of product sustainability includes the areas of material and energy use, greenhouse gas impacts, human and eco-system health considerations, and social responsibility. The BIFMA E3-2008 Business and Institutional Furniture Sustainability Standard addresses all of these topics. Modeled after the LEED building rating system, furniture products are evaluated against a variety of credit criteria (after first meeting certain prerequisites), accumulating points toward increasing levels of recognition associated with reduced environmental impact. National is proud to have earned certification to this Sustainability Standard for the majority of our portfolio, as recognized by SCS with their Sustainable Choice T label. A number of National lines carry the Sustainable Choice Silver level certification, with others earning the higher level Sustainable Choice Gold certification.
