Following a mission
InterfaceFLOR is an international conglomerate with a keen eye on the environment.
Thirteen years ago founder Ray Anderson acknowledged the need to address the impact the company, which manufactures modular contract flooring, was having on the greater environment.
He set his workforce a target of Mission Zero by 2020. By that date the company wants to have a zero carbon footprint. InterfaceFLOR, which has a manufacturing site at Shelf, is already well on the way to that target.
It has embraced the challenge and taken the message beyond its own walls.
In September InterfaceFLOR invited other manufacturers, stylists, academics, scientists and economists to its Sustainable Futures conference in Amsterdam.
As well as chasing its own target it wants to share knowledge with other companies.
