这是米勒诺尔首次获得这种认可。该公司因其在内部以及通过与客户的合作提高对残疾问题的认识方面所做的工作而感到荣幸。
This award underscores MillerKnoll's Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) efforts and the work of the associate-led Business Resource Group (BRG), ENABLED, which advocates for accessibility and inclusion.

Disability Matters also recognized MillerKnoll's work with clients, specifically the company's role in supporting the design of The Harkin Institute for Public Policy and Citizen Engagement at Drake University. The Institute's new progressive facility was imagined using inclusive design principles, providing an equitable experience for all people.
Disability Matters还认可了MillerKnoll与客户的合作，特别是该公司在支持德雷克大学哈金公共政策与公民参与研究所设计方面所发挥的作用。该研究所的新先进设施采用包容性设计原则构想，为所有人提供公平的体验。
Led by renowned architectural firm BNIM, in collaboration with the Harkin Institute and MillerKnoll, four guiding principles were developed for the Harkin Center's building and site design: generous space, equitable experiences, clear path, and individual empowerment. MillerKnoll applied those tenets to its furniture strategy, contributing to a site that goes beyond universal design to be truly inclusive. Local to Des Moines, Iowa where the Harkin Institute is located, dealer Pigott also collaborated on every stage of the project.
由著名建筑公司BNIM领导，与哈金研究所和米勒诺尔合作，为哈金中心的建筑和场地设计制定了四项指导原则：宽敞的空间、公平的体验、清晰的道路和个人赋权。MillerKnoll 将这些原则应用到其家具战略中，为打造一个超越通用设计而真正具有包容性的网站做出了贡献。在哈金研究所所在的爱荷华州得梅因市，经销商皮戈特还在该项目的每个阶段进行了合作。
Jason Rosenblatt, Senior Design Strategist, MillerKnoll added, "A significant portion of the design process (for the Harkin Institute) occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, and this passionate team was challenged to drive forward by shifting to an entirely virtual design and advisory process. We are incredibly proud of the outcome and look forward to our continued work as an advocate for more Inclusive Design led practices and policies around the globe."
米勒诺尔高级设计策略师杰森·罗森布拉特补充说， “（哈金研究所）设计过程的很大一部分发生在 COVID-19 疫情期间，这支充满激情的团队面临着通过转向完全虚拟的设计和咨询流程来推动前进的挑战。我们对结果感到非常自豪，并期待我们继续努力，倡导在全球范围内倡导更多包容性设计的实践和政策。”
