Interface’s 2024 Impact Report and bold sustainability progress featured on the Nasdaq Tower.
Interface has marked a significant moment in its sustainability journey with its 2024 Impact Report showcased on the iconic Nasdaq Tower in New York City. The report details the company’s continued progress in environmental, social, and governance commitments, reflecting more than 30 years of leadership in sustainable innovation.
In 2024, Interface advanced its goal of becoming carbon negative by 2040 without the use of offsets. Highlights include reductions in product carbon footprints across all categories since the 2019 baseline with a 35 percent drop for carpet tile, a 46 percent drop for luxury vinyl tile, and a 21 percent drop for rubber flooring. Overall greenhouse gas emissions fell by 4 percent compared to 2023, supported by increased use of renewable energy with 80 percent of manufacturing energy sourced from renewable sources and 100 percent renewable electricity maintained.
The company also strengthened its circular economy efforts by collecting 9.2 million pounds of post consumer carpet for recycling and reuse and expanding recycling capabilities in Europe. Recycled and bio based materials now make up more than half of Interface’s raw materials.
On the social front, Interface maintained Great Place to Work certifications in six countries, achieved new certifications in three more, and introduced leadership development initiatives for manufacturing teams.
Recognition for these efforts came from multiple global platforms in 2024 including the Reuters Sustainability Award for Net Zero Leadership and being named a Circularity Lighthouse in the Built Environment by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey and Company.
The Nasdaq Tower feature brought Interface’s message of climate action and corporate responsibility to one of the most visible stages in the world, underscoring the company’s commitment to creating positive change for people, products, and the planet.
