Local Donation Partnerships
On a regular basis, we donate unused materials to local charities and not-for-profits, affording us the ability to divert waste from landfill while supporting the communities in which we work and live.
At our StudioTK facility in North Carolina, we donate leftover fabric to the Scrap Exchange, a local waste diversion collective and charity that offers arts and crafts materials to local artists, schools, and any other individuals engaged in creative projects.
Knowledge Sharing Opportunities
We actively engage in programming to share knowledge that advances our customers, the industry, and ourselves. We do this across a variety of forums including workshops, continuing education forums, thought leadership webinars, WELL AP exam prep, study courses and coaching as well as teaching partnerships with higher education institutes.
Professional Development + Training
We offer enhanced training opportunities via a variety of platforms including online classes, webinars and in-person training.
Examples of recent courses include:
• Leading Your Team Through Coaching
• Getting the Most Out of Your Teams

Owning our manufacturing enables us to maintain the highest standards across our supply chain.
