The Sustainability Awards honor people, teams and organizations who have made sustainability an integral part of their business practice or overall mission.

Kohler Co. was recognized for its efforts around KOHLER Believing in Better, the company’s sustainability and social impact strategy across three pillars: better planet, better communities and better lives. Within the Better Planet pillar, Kohler’s Environmental Sustainability team is reimagining the company’s path to net zero across operations by 2035 and working to reduce Kohler’s overall operational environmental footprint, while creating more environmentally favorable and sustainable products and services to preserve a healthy planet. This mission is embedded throughout the company and brands within Kohler’s global operations.

Kohler’s Believing in Better: Better Planet strategy empowers associates to focus on sustainability across the business through various initiatives. The company’s signature Innovation for Good program focuses on developing products and solutions for pressing global social and environmental issues. Innovation for Good's internal innovation incubator, I-Prize, invites associates from across Kohler businesses to ideate and become partners in developing these business solutions. The company’s Design for Environment, Environmental Product Declarations and Declare Label initiatives also ensure that all associates and leadership are working to bring new concepts to life that are aligned to the singular goal of achieving positive results toward a Better Planet.

“Kohler is focusing on bringing sustainability to the forefront in a meaningful and results-driven manner,” says Ratish Namboothiry, Kohler Co. Director of Innovation for Good and Sustainability. “It is an honor to be recognized by the Business Intelligence team for our work in being a more sustainable company and promoting a more sustainable world.”
