ESG Overview

ESG STRATEGY & APPROACH

For 30+ years, Interface has proven what’s possible when a business pushes for more impact, more integrity, and more progress. What began in 1994 as a bold step toward sustainability has become central to who we are. And we’re still pushing forward. We are committed to maintaining transparency for our customers and shareholders, driving continuous innovation across our products and operations, and holding ourselves to higher standards of performance and sustainability. 

Our 2025 Impact Report highlights our efforts to:

  • Reduce our environmental footprint,
  • Advance circularity,
  • Make Interface a great place to work,
  • Support our surrounding communities,
  • Operate responsibly throughout our value chain. 

We set and track progress toward aggressive targets aligned with the level of action needed for sound corporate citizenship and environmental responsibility, which are critical to our long-term success.

 

“For more than 50 years, we’ve run our business with purpose and without compromise. Our purpose-driven culture is why employees join our company, why customers choose our products, and why we are a leader in our industry. And this past year’s record performance shows that operating responsibly and ethically can drive profitable growth and results for our shareholders.

We continue to live by our values. And we’re staying true to who we are. That means advancing our sustainability ambition while being transparent about the work we do along the way. This fuels our culture, our innovation, and our differentiation.

Our 2025 Impact Report reflects our commitment to create positive impacts for our people, our customers, and the planet, and the incredible progress we have made across our ESG initiatives.”
