Taking 2nd overall in the expanded, 14 company category of 'Home Equipment, Furnishings,' Herman Miller received the #1 ranking in five of the nine attributes surveyed. These included Innovation, People Management, Use of Corporate Assets, Social Responsibility, and Quality of Products and Services.

Representatives from a total of 673 companies from 32 countries were then surveyed, along with their respective industry analysts and other third party experts.
