The Global Test Facility allows for specialized testing and product evaluations, with the support of professional personnel who are committed to consistently meeting or exceeding quality furniture testing. This facility also develops test programs to evaluate function, safety, durability, and structural adequacy of their products to determine the most suitable component for specific products.
Prior to environment protection legislation, Global had established their own standards for sustainable practices, developing new technologies, and reusing materials to safeguard the environment. Global believes they have a responsibility to safeguard the environment, which is one reason they established the Global Group Environmental Committee. This committee encourages sharing ideas, practices, and technologies that protect the environment and people’s health.
Global’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Group and Indigenous Advisory Council was created to support the success of their employees and strengthen their commitment to the community. These groups are committed to understanding the issues that impact them directly, strengthening internal talents to provide better opportunities for advancement of all, and creating a diverse workforce.
Teknion maintains consistent and stringent quality assurance standards at every level of the organization. Continuous improvement of employees and production processes are the keys that position Teknion as an industry leader in design, manufacturing, and fulfillment.
Teknion is committed to an environmental policy that is formalized under ISO 14001 EMS (Environmental Management System). Their corporate-wide program allows them to comply with environmental legislation in the U.S., Canada and abroad, and institute a best practices approach in both manufacturing and administrative areas.
Teknion’s values have been built on the foundation of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). With a commitment to the JUST program, a nutrition label for socially just and equitable organizations, Teknion is able to enhance their community stewardship practices. This program provides a guideline to building an organization which draws strength from its diversity, equity, and inclusion.
