At Kohler, your work matters. Whether it’s creating inclusive and equitable communities, innovating with a social purpose, or being responsible stewards of resources, we are committed to continuously improving our impact in the places we live and work.
Our associates take action, and together, we’re a positive force in transforming the environment, communities, and lives all around the world.
Safe water is critical to daily life and the fact that one-third of the world’s population lives without it is unacceptable. Our flagship initiative, Safe Water for All, combines the passion of our associates and our expertise to bring safe water and sanitation to communities living with water scarcity, ineffective infrastructures, or the effects of displacement.
As a measure of transparency, accountability, and progress toward the goals we’ve set and the promises we’ve made, our 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report is an important next step on our path to a better planet, better communities, and better lives.
The KOHLER WasteLAB was established in 2014 as an idea coming out of Kohler’s Innovation for Good® incubator. WasteLAB associates are working to foster a circular economy in which we reuse, rethink, and repurpose our manufacturing waste streams to design and produce artful tile and other products from landfill-bound wastewater sludge, pottery dry cull, cast iron slag, foundry dust, and enamel powder. From 2019 through 2022, sales of KOHLER WasteLAB tiles have diverted 25.5 metric tons of waste from landfills.
