Gardening for Good  🍅 🍉 🫑 In response to local food insufficiency, our Sheridan, Arkansas, team came together to plant a community garden, complete with a watering system and chock full of fruit and veggies galore. Thanks to garden supply donations from area businesses, the team was able build ten 4’ x 8’ raised beds planted with tomatoes, squash, zucchini, watermelon, and a variety of peppers. Community members in need can pick produce for their families, and anything remaining will be donated to the local food pantry.

Building a better future, one product at a time. 🌍 We are proud to announce that the KOHLER Loope toilet was named in Fast Company’s 2024 World Changing Ideas Awards, as a finalist in the Developing World Technology category and honorable mention in the Water category. The container-based, waterless toilet provides an accessible and affordable option for the more than 1.5 billion people worldwide who are living without safe toileting, particularly those in urban and water-depleted areas. Developed by our team of #InnovationForGood engineers and designers, Loope can be easily integrated to meet the needs of people living in informal settlements where proper infrastructure is lacking. The cost-effective and thoughtful design operates without sewage systems or electricity to provide a comfortable, dignified, and gracious experience. This recognition embodies our #SafeWaterForAll commitment and is a testament to the bold innovators working to bring safe sanitation to all people in all communities. 🚽💧 🔗 Learn more about our world-changing idea: https://lnkd.in/dRnfuqzN #FCWorldChangingIdeas #BecomeMoreAtKohler

“Creating an accessible environment benefits us all. Accessibility drives innovation and creates a stronger company culture. It’s our mission to find solutions that make it easier and more comfortable for all associates to reach their full potential.” ☀️ Meet our BOLD Ability business resource group—an associate-led global team dedicated to creating a disability-friendly workplace. Co-founded by senior strategic account manager Mandy Miller, whose son has autism, BOLD Ability has grown to more than 220 members worldwide since it launched in late 2021. “BOLD Ability was born out of a passion for creating an inclusive environment,” continued Mandy. “Raising a child with a disability, I know the challenges they can face—but I also know that there is so much we can do as a workplace and a community to empower them to contribute their best.” With members across the U.S., Canada, India, China, and the U.K., BOLD Ability is working both locally and internationally to connect associates and their families to the right resources and bring awareness to various physical, behavioral, developmental, and sensory disabilities. “Together, we form a strong network of support and learning for associates with disabilities and their allies.” Learn more about #DEI at Kohler: https://lnkd.in/gzxpRF7J #AltogetherKohler #BecomeMoreAtKohler #DisabilityInclusion
