Onlineresurser: Today's managers must consider more factors than accounting numbers in making operating decisions, including those that affect the environment. This case describes One Haworth Center, Haworth, Inc.'s, LEED gold-certified office/showroom building built in 2008, and Haworth's ongoing sustainability efforts. The case provides students with a realistic context in which to examine the concepts of the triple bottom line, sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and green building. Students are asked to identify how Haworth is addressing each of the triple bottom lines (people, planet, and profit) and to determine how success might be measured for each of these. Students are encouraged to make connections between sustainability efforts and other management accounting topics such as cost control, business risk, and capital investment decisions. Finally, students are asked to make recommendations to management regarding future sustainability efforts.
