Interface Inc

Under the leadership of its charismatic founder and Chairman Ray Anderson, the last decade has seen Interface transform itself from a simple carpet manufacturer into one of the world’s leading exponents of sustainable business practice. The company has revolutionised its manufacturing processes generating a range of positive environmental outcomes including reductions in waste and energy use, increased use of renewable energy and recycled content, and reduced overall greenhouse gas emissions. In 2004 the company became a corporate member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council, with a policy to actively seek out diverse suppliers, including small, minority-owned, women-owned, disabled-owned, and veteran-owned businesses, and encourage them to become a part of the Interface supply chain.
