Sustainability That Works

Sustainability that works. It's not just some mission statement on a corporate office wall. It's a conviction that runs throughout the Mohawk Group and drives everything we do. We're committed to actions, not just words. To be real, sustainability initiatives must be truly viable, long-term, and third-party verified. Some can be small, simple steps. Others are enormous undertakings that involve major capital investment and significant cultural change. Either way, it's about actions that result in a sustainability strategy that works for you, for our community and for the planet we all enjoy. That's sustainability that works.

We continue to shrink our manufacturing footprint—significantly reducing the amount of resources we use while increasing our recycling and reuse of waste. But we're not stopping here. We're going after very aggressive reduction targets over the next 8 years. Already, we've seen real progress towards our 2020 goals of 25% reduction of our intensities related to energy, greenhouse gases, water, and waste-to-landfill. What are intensities? They're a measure of the amount of resources needed to create our products. So far, our biggest improvements have been in water and waste-to-landfill intensities—with impressive decreases of nearly 9% and 7% respectively.

We decided that sustainability must be built into every product we make. So, we start at the very beginning of the product lifecycle and look for innovative ways to make our designs and our materials more sustainable. This can mean anything from using post-consumer content...to making our products more easily recyclable...to increasing their durability for greater sustainable life. We then address environmental issues at every subsequent stage of the product lifecycle.

Sustainability is not just about the health of our planet. It's also about making life more livable for the people on it. Inside the Mohawk community, we're constantly doing things to make life better through training, safety, and wellness initiatives. But we also realize that our responsibilities extend far beyond our own walls into the larger communities where we live and work. We're heavily invested in all kinds of social responsibility initiatives involving health, safety, professional development, and community programs where we live and work.
