“One of the best ways to know we’re making a difference is when we see a ‘halo effect’—something unsolicited, something we didn’t plan for—taking root in the same spaces we advocate. That’s how we know we’re inspiring others and building a better tomorrow together.” Jesse Lemel, co-president of our BOLD Ability business resource group, represented Kohler at the Seramount EmERGe Conference last week with an incredible panel discussion on “Turning ERG Insight into Enterprise Value.” He shared how BOLD Ability, which is dedicated to creating a disability-friendly workplace and community, is intentionally connecting inclusion to business impact—bringing forward real Kohler stories of inclusive facility design, team integration and camaraderie, community partnerships, and innovation driven by lived experience of our associates. Inclusion, when embedded into our products, processes, and services, not only enhances engagement but drives meaningful and measurable business results. #AltogetherKohler #BecomeMoreAtKohler #SeramountEmERGe #ERG #BRG

Another unforgettable Milan Design Week! 💫 The Flamingo Estate Bathhouse x KOHLER immersive installation was a quiet yet bold architectural presence—crafted with cast iron and copper, grounded in materiality and shaped by the rhythms of nature. Honoring the reciprocity between human craft and environmental well-being, our Global Design team created four custom cast iron pollinator baths for our installation. Conceptualized by Richard Christiansen of Flamingo Estate, each bath was handmade in our Kohler, Wisconsin, foundry and features a surface pattern that was designed to accommodate the physical needs of different pollinator species. Our cast iron ambassador Martha Stewart also dropped by to help us celebrate the heritage, craft, and character of KOHLER cast iron. Joining her was world-renowned photographer Douglas Friedman, who so artfully captured our latest cast iron campaign. From quiet moments of reflection to energizing evenings of celebration, take a peek inside the stunning event. #MilanDesignWeek2026 #MDW2026 #Kohler
