Sustainability
Designing with care—crafting furniture that sustains people and planet.
Pride, Passion, Purpose
Founded in 1876, we began as a manufacturer of durable, well-crafted wood chairs. The skilled artisans who had settled this land and plied their trades were able to create a diversified community centered on wood, the world’s most sustainable resource. Through the years, as our company has grown, so has our respect for the resources we use and the environment that provides them. We are committed to reducing, reusing, and recycling and to the conservation of our environment and its natural resources, as well as the encouragement of our suppliers and customers to do the same.
Sustainable For Future Generations.
“Since 1876, JSI has been dedicated to not just improving spaces but also the communities where we live and work. That’s because sustainability matters to us. And it shows in the materials we select, the resources we use, how each product is made, and our streamlined delivery practices. It reflects a philosophy of community commitment, responsible growth, and investment where it matters most. It reflects a culture and a purpose that is simple: the most important job we have is to ensure a sustainable business model for future generations to foster and grow our local communities.”
Mike Wagner | President & CEO

USGBC
The built environment has a profound impact on our natural environment, economy, health, and productivity. Breakthroughs in building science, technology, and operations are now available to designers, builders, operators, and owners who want to build green and maximize both economic and environmental performance. Through the LEED® green building certification program, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) is transforming the built environment.
The green building movement offers an unprecedented opportunity to respond to the most important challenges of our time, including global climate change, dependence on non sustainable and expensive sources of energy, and threats to human health. The work of innovative building professionals is a fundamental driving force in the green building moment. Such leadership is a critical component to achieving USGBC’s mission of a sustainable built environment for all within a generation.
