S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y Today, going green means developing environ- mentally friendly paints and finishes, sourcing sustainable woods and metals, going beyond local and national regulations in clean manufacturing and waste disposal, and making deliveries on time while reducing our carbon footprint. We reduced our air emissions by 90% while tripling our seating business, so we know green busi- ness is good business. Hussey seating solutions come in a wide range of colors — but every day our seats get greener. More infor- mation available at www.husseyseating.com/sustainability. I applied to Hussey Seating because it was an opportunity to work locally on projects that were seen globally. The products here are designed and manufactured on site — so I can actually see my work come to life. I'm also a huge Blackhawks fan so I was hooked when I found out we're reseating the United Center in Chicago.
