Interface is a global supplier of floor coverings. For many years, the company has been known for its rigorous recycling concept. The company has been recording its sustainability indicators since 1996 and has now set itself the goal of becoming climate positive in terms of all of its corporate activities (scope 1–3) by 2040. Various measures contribute to this: while its European production facilities already operate on 100 per cent renewable power, the company is determined to steadily increase this share among its global operations. CO₂ emissions have already fallen by 96 per cent in production. The core unit of measurement, however, is the products’ CO₂ footprint. The CO₂ footprint of the company’s carpet tiles has already decreased by 74 per cent in comparison to the baseline, i.e. the level in 1996. Since 2018, all floor coverings sold by Interface have been CO₂-neutral throughout their life cycle, thanks to offsetting the remaining emissions.

Interface attended the third meeting of Alliance supporters in November 2020 and was part of a panel of experts on the podium discussing the topic of ‘COVID-19 as an opportunity – how supporters can use the coronavirus crisis for sustainable development and climate action’. Within the company, employees are given continuous and in-depth training on topics around sustainability. This allows them to talk to and educate customers about climate action and carbon offsetting during their sales pitch.
