We are driven by a higher purpose because we deeply care about people, our communities, and our planet. We strive to make a positive difference wherever we can because it’s simply the right thing to do. And that’s also the right thing for our business.
A Holistic Impact Commitment
Flexsteel aspires to make a lasting, positive impact on the world through our business ethics, environmental initiatives, and involvement with the communities where we work and live.
Healthy Planet
Our work begins at the design phase, prioritizing low-emissions materials that are safe for our customers and healthy for our planet.
Healthy People
Our approach to protecting and safeguarding human rights starts with us and carries throughout every stage of the supply chain.

For over 100 years we’ve created policies and practices that prioritize ethics, trust, transparency, and above all—accountability.
At Flexsteel, we care deeply about protecting and improving the environment for future generations. We are determined to play our part in helping address the challenges of climate change by leading initiatives to lessen the impact our products and operations have on the environment.

Climate Change & GHG Emissions
Flexsteel is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices in its products. By optimizing design, utilizing sustainable materials, and implementing efficient packaging practices, the company aims to create a healthier world for future generations.
By working with Minimum, the Enterprise Carbon Management Platform, Flexsteel calculates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for all assets under its operational control for 2022.
By the end of 2023, Flexsteel plans to assess its Scope 3 footprint and publish an updated GHG inventory.
Responsibly Sourced Materials
Flexsteel is committed to sustainable materials and practices, with a focus on sourcing responsibly from suppliers. In the 2023 fiscal year, a comprehensive database of sourced Flexsteel products with wood fiber was developed, ensuring the amount of sustainable wood used in their products.
Our company prioritizes timber and wood fiber that is legally harvested and sourced responsibly using environmentally and socially sustainable forestry practices.
In the 2023 fiscal year, 21% of wood was sourced from third-party certified forestlands, while 11% was classified as Best and 10% as Good. The remaining wood was legally logged under the requirements of the Lacey Act.
Flexsteel plans to expand its database to include all materials and packaging used in all products, providing transparency on environmentally responsible options for future product development. Additionally, Flexsteel is working to establish new eco-packaging standards, such as replacing Styrofoam with honeycomb cardboard, which reduces waste and enhances customer convenience while maintaining high quality.
