Things we’d love to tell you about Interface

Interface is leading the way as a "flooring solution provider" in sustainable business and environmentally friendly manufacturing across our six manufacturing sites. Our mission is to overcome the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced and combat global warming. It is no longer enough to limit the damage we do. We must see it in reverse. We want to restore our planet and leave a positive impact.

By experimenting with renewable and recyclable materials, we have been able to reduce the carbon footprint of our products. Every flooring product we offer, be it carpet, LVT or rubber, is now 100% carbon neutral. A positive step toward "Climate Take Back. With several carbon-negative products available, we are striving to become a carbon-negative company.

We’re 'made for more'. We're more than a carpet company. Much more. Interface is its people — authentic people who bring their whole, undivided selves to work and to the world. We’re empowered to speak out, to stand out, and to reach out. Being genuine creates a foundation for trust and deep relationships, investing in “we” over “me” and creating a culture of inclusion. We challenge ourselves to do the right thing, to be generous to people and to the planet we call home. Doing the greatest good possible — that’s the passion we share. Our culture of curiosity is contagious. At Interface, there’s an ever-present sense of exploration and innovation — a willingness to test, tumble, and try again.
