Kohler has been a name synonymous with innovation for 150 years. From kitchen and bath faucets to fixtures and beyond, the company has built its legacy on the belief that exceptional design and a commitment to the natural world are not competing priorities. They are inseparable.
Sustainability is deeply rooted at Kohler, guided by three generations of company leaders who recognized the importance of our connection to the natural world and felt the responsibility to protect it. That legacy is very much alive today and shapes how Kohler approaches every product it brings to market.
Sustainability as a Value, Not a Checkbox
At Kohler, sustainability is not something the company works toward occasionally. It is central to everything the company does. The mission that tens of thousands of Kohler associates rally around worldwide is to help people everywhere live more gracious, healthy and sustainable lives.
That mission is not a marketing statement. It is the standard by which Kohler measures its products, its processes and its progress.
Innovation That Saves Water at Scale
Kohler’s commitment to water conservation has been years in the making, and the results are tangible. Since 2007, Kohler’s WaterSense-labeled products have helped save billions of gallons of water across homes and businesses. That is the direct result of early and sustained investment in water-saving innovation, driven by a belief that performance and sustainability must go hand in hand.
Kohler has never been willing to sacrifice design or performance to meet sustainability goals. Products like the Kohler Highline Toilet, exclusively available at The Home Depot, demonstrate that point clearly. The Highline can save more than 4,000 gallons of water in a single year compared to older, less efficient models, delivering meaningful conservation without asking homeowners to compromise on quality.
Recycled Materials at the Core
Kohler Cast Iron products and Stainless Steel sinks are made with over 80% recycled content, bringing circularity to product lines built to last.
Products built to last from materials given a second life reflect exactly the kind of thinking that makes Kohler a natural fit for the Eco Actions platform.
Design for Environment: Sustainability from the Start
Kohler uses a Design for Environment (DfE) methodology that measures the life-cycle impact of products early in the development process. Rather than evaluating environmental impact after a product is designed, Kohler builds that evaluation into the design process from the beginning.
This approach ensures that sustainability considerations shape every decision, from the raw materials selected to the manufacturing processes used to the long-term performance of the product in the home.
A Shared Commitment
Kohler’s partnership with The Home Depot is a natural extension of shared values. Both companies are committed to creating a more sustainable future and believe that better products are one of the most powerful ways to get there.
With 150 years of innovation behind it and a clear sustainability mission guiding what comes next, Kohler continues to raise the standard for what kitchen and bath products can do for people and for the planet.
