General Information
Description: A Conversation with Brian Walker
Abstract: When Brian Walker became CEO of the office-furniture maker Herman Miller, five years ago, he aimed to put the company well ahead of its competitors in terms of environmental impact. The company—known for inventing that icon of the Mad Men era, the Eames lounge chair, as well as many of the furnishings in modern offices—vowed to produce no landfill waste, hazardous waste, or manufacturing emissions and to rely completely on “green energy” by 2020. We checked in with Walker to see if he’s having second thoughts.
