Social Responsibility

At Interface, we seek to live our values every day. Our values represent who we are, how we see the world, how we treat each other – including our external customers and stakeholders – and how we approach our work. With our values as our foundation, we create a supportive, positive, and inclusive workplace culture, and it’s our intention that these values extend beyond our company walls to the communities where we live and work.

We continue our commitment to conduct business ethically and responsibly and do our part to advance human rights, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

“Interface is built on a foundation of purpose, guided by core values that resonate through every part of our business. Our employees live these values every day to advance our capabilities in design, innovation, performance, and sustainability. The stewardship of our purpose and values-driven culture is our collective responsibility. As we look ahead, we will continue listening, innovating, and evolving. We recognize the impact of empowered teams who bring their whole selves to work each day. And we’re committed to ensuring our employees have the support and resources they need to make a difference for our customers and our communities.” - Greg Minano, Chief Human Resources Officer

Human Rights

Interface supports fundamental human rights for all people and is committed to complying with employment laws in every country in which it operates. We are firmly opposed to the use of child labor, slave labor, or human trafficking. Interface has adopted a Commitment to Human Rights, a comprehensive Code of Conduct that covers all employees and directors, as well as a Supplier Code of Conduct.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)

When we embrace the diversity of our community and commit to an equitable, inclusive culture, we live our Interface values.

We are engaging and collaborative, seeking input from our employees to ensure we hear marginalized voices and implement solutions that reflect a broad set of perspectives. We are curious, inventive, and genuinely caring, and we use data and research to help drive our people-oriented strategy and decisions.

Through sharing, teaching, and leading, we energize others to help us all make meaningful progress – internally at Interface and with our customers, suppliers, and partners. We want all employees and stakeholders to feel they belong with Interface and have the opportunity to thrive.

Interface is an equal opportunity employer. It is our responsibility to create an environment that embraces diversity, is free from discrimination and harassment, and is grounded in respect. We focus on achieving equality through our hiring practices, providing relevant employee training programs, and actively promoting awareness and dialogue to support our people.

We are focused on establishing a solid foundation to support our people and invest in the right programs and offerings to create an inclusive environment for all.

Safety

Safety is a top priority at Interface. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy experience for our people, and this commitment extends beyond our four walls. Our Global Safety Vision includes all employees and asks us to commit to caring for one another and embracing safety excellence. Safety is everyone’s responsibility, and we must work together to keep ourselves, our fellow colleagues, and all who spend time at Interface safe. We aspire to set an example by having a workplace with zero safety incidents and where we leave work every day just as healthy as when we arrived.

The health and safety management systems at all our flooring manufacturing operations in Europe, Australia, and China are certified to ISO 45001, the global standard for occupational health and safety.
