By honoring the past and embracing the future, La-Z-Boy has stayed true to the principles of our founders as we continue to bring quality and comfort to people around the world, as we enrich people’s lives by turning houses into homes.
In 1927, in a garage in Monroe, Michigan, cousins Edwin J. Shoemaker and Edward M. Knabusch designed the reclining wood-slat chair.
This chair launched the world-renowned La-Z-Boy brand and a new category in furniture — the iconic recliner.
Their story is a testament to the American Dream, and their uncompromising spirit continues to be the driving force behind the La-Z-Boy brand.
Today, their legacy continues as dedicated men and women across North America build upon their innovative vision and uphold their commitment to quality, craftsmanship and American heritage.
La-Z-Boy is dedicated to providing quality products and outstanding service to our customers, offering employees an inspiring work environment and operating with unwavering integrity.
We are also vigilant with regard to the environment, integrating sustainable business practices to reduce the impact of our operations both locally and globally.
La-Z-Boy is committed to crafting products that meet or exceed industry standards for quality and safety.
Through comprehensive research and development, domestic manufacturing of our upholstered furniture utilizing our world-class global supply chain, and prudent sourcing of casegoods, we strive to consistently deliver products that live up to the La-Z-Boy name.
For over 90 years, the La-Z-Boy brand has focused on the core values of honesty and integrity. We are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of our business operations. La-Z-Boy employees, from our manufacturing facilities, regional distribution centers and stores, to our corporate offices, are committed to this core tenet.
We maintain a toll-free Ethics Hotline where employees across the globe can confidentially report concerns and/or violations of our Code of Business Conduct. Operated by a third party, this line is available 24/7 with all reports taken by trained professionals and promptly forwarded to our legal department. Alternatively, employees may communicate their concerns through a dedicated online portal.
As a requirement of doing business with La-Z-Boy and its subsidiaries, our suppliers are required to conduct business in compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct:
It is our expectation that any product supplied to us adheres to all applicable legal requirements for manufacturing, distribution and sale.
Our team works closely with suppliers to ensure their business practices, with respect to ethics, quality, fair labor, safety and environmental policies, conform to our expectations and standards. Suppliers must also meet additional requirements, established by La-Z-Boy, that help reduce the environmental impact of La-Z-Boy products.
Our suppliers are responsible for ensuring that their suppliers comply with La-Z-Boy requirements, with documentation and verification available to us.
