Keilhauer Celebrates 13th Year as One of Canada’s Greenest Employers

April 22, 2026 (Toronto, ON) – Keilhauer has been recognized once again as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers by the Canada’s Top 100 Employers project—marking the 13th time the North American furniture manufacturer has received this prestigious honor.

This designation recognizes organizations for their environmental leadership. Winners are chosen based on sustainability efforts, reduced environmental impact, and employee participation in green programs central to their culture.

“Being named one of Canada’s Greenest Employers is meaningful because it reflects the daily choices our teams make—designing with intention, investing in better materials, and continually raising the bar on how we operate,” says Meghan Sherwin, President of Keilhauer. “Sustainability isn’t a single initiative for us; it’s a mindset that shapes every product we bring to market and every step we take toward a healthier future.”

To determine the winners, the editors of Canada’s Top 100 Employers evaluate organizations based on four criteria:

1. The unique environmental initiatives and programs developed
2. Success in reducing the organization’s environmental footprint
3. Employee involvement and contribution of unique skills
4. The extent to which these initiatives are embedded in the organization’s public identity
