Mission Zero

To InterfaceFLOR, Mission Zero means taking the time to understand the natural world and all of its species and to understand how everything we do, take, make and waste affects nature's balance and, ultimately, our children and the children of all species. From this knowledge, we can build processes throughout our business that mimic nature and support the environment. Processes that:

• Sustain the environment by taking nothing from the earth that we cannot easily and rapidly replace.

• Sustain society by educating our employees and associates on our impact on the environment and helping them create solutions that reduce our footprint.

• Sustain our economic health by creating products and solutions that are not only environmentally-friendly, but profitable as well.

We strive to achieve success in all of these areas, while consistently providing beautiful, high performing products delivered with integrity and responsibility. Weíre not at zero yet, but since the ecological epiphany of our Founder Ray Anderson in 1994, we've had a lot of time to work on it, resulting in environmental advances in all areas of our business - people, process, product, place and profits.

 

InterfaceFLOR is on a mission to protect, restore, innovate and educate. We've broken our mission into 7 steps to help us on our journey toward zero.
