Surplus Stewardship® furthers corporate citizenship, social responsibility and environmental sustainability. Our Sponsors enable us to continue doing our good work!

SPONSOR:

“Nearly ten years ago, Knoll and ANEW came together to form Full Circle, which was an industry first. Not only did we establish new industry standards for environmental responsibility, we made a very positive impact on major corporations in North America. We also made an impact on the lives of many of the recipients of the products that would normally go to a landfill; they ended up enhancing people’s lives. It’s been a wonderful partnership, and we look forward to the future.”
