The purpose of the Sage Award is to seek out, discover and recognize true industry innovators from whom others can learn. Award applicants will demonstrate wisdom, experience and leadership within the home furnishings industry in the areas of sustainable business practices, social responsibility and profitable growth.

Sponsored by the American Home Furnishings Alliance, the Sage Award was founded on the belief that environmental excellence is an

ongoing journey requiring flexibility, insight and constant learning. The annual Award honors businesses that demonstrate a passion for and a sustained commitment to that journey.

Entries are evaluated by an independent panel of judges from the home furnishings and bedding industries, as well as from environmental and social organizations. Applicants need not be AHFA members to enter.
