Environmental Stewardship

Few companies in any industry have made as much decarbonization progress as we have in our 30+ year sustainability journey. And our experience tells us there’s much more to do to solve the climate crisis. It’s going to take bold, relentless action. That’s why we’re doing our part—to become carbon negative by 2040. 

2024 IMPACT REPORT

Climate

Our 2030 science-based targets represent an important halfway milestone toward our carbon negative goal. And our climate impact data shows that we are well on our way to reaching our 2030 targets. We are also doubling down on direct carbon reductions to meet the urgency of the climate crisis. In other words, we are not slowing down.

2030 Science-Based Targets

Our science-based targets commit to reductions over an 11-year period, with our reduction efforts taking place from 2019 to 2030. After just five years, we have already passed the halfway point toward achieving each target.

2040 Carbon Negative Enterprise

We are ‘all in’ on carbon negative by 2040. How? By avoiding, reducing, and storing more carbon than ever before to reach our bold climate goals. We know what it takes, so we’re doing our part—to help solve the climate crisis.

Circular Economy

The circular economy plays a critical role in shaping a low-carbon future. Interface is committed to helping develop a circular economy. It is why we: 

•    Design our products to be durable, reusable, or recyclable.

•    Make products with recycled, bio-based, or captured carbon materials.

•    Develop circularity strategies and recycling programs. 

We have reclaimed post-consumer carpet tile for almost 30 years. Through our ReEntry® Reclamation & Recycling program, we take back products for reuse and recycling, effectively closing the loop for our eligible products. Since 2016, we have recovered over 75 million pounds of post-consumer carpet through our global ReEntry programs. 

Product Impacts

We have made incredible progress reducing the carbon footprint of our flooring portfolio, and we continue to invest in innovation across our product lines to drive further reductions. In 2024, we made meaningful carbon footprint reductions across all three of our product categories – carpet, LVT, and rubber – through material and manufacturing innovation. 

Commitment to Transparency

We are committed to transparency and the voluntary disclosure of product impacts. We embrace tools that encourage transparency, like Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Health Product Declarations (HPDs), and many of our products have achieved strict environmental and health standards and certifications.
