  7. Nature Assessment and Strategy Planning For Steelcase Inc.

Nature Assessment and Strategy Planning for Steelcase Inc.

Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
Project Description

The adoption of sustainable business practices is critical for aligning with stakeholder expectations, following regulations related to sustainability, and advancing long-term global resilience. Business can be an important driver of change, and sustainability is no exception. This includes Steelcase Inc., an international manufacturer of furniture, case goods, seating, storage, and partitioning systems for offices, hospitals, classrooms, and residential interiors (Steelcase, 2025). This collaboration between Steelcase and a team of graduate student researchers from the University of Michigan serves as a strategic resource for Steelcase, providing a structured approach to assessing nature-related impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities.
