Fireside: Interface "Beyond Zero" Story with Liz Minne

Join Liz Minne as she shares the inspiring journey of Interface’s from "Beyond Zero", which aims to eliminate the company’s environmental footprint to "Reverse the Climate Change" initiative that set new standards in sustainable business.

As a 2024 Reuters Sustainability Award winner, Interface has become a global leader in sustainability, and this session will cover the strategies, challenges, and breakthroughs that have fueled this transformation. Featured in the critically acclaimed film available on Sustainova, Interface’s story is a must-hear for anyone committed to a zero-impact future.

Liz shared with us a few resources that would be helpful in highlighting Interface's direction and recent work.

Interface is 'all in' on solving the climate crisis and are focusing on carbon reductions, not offsets.

Here's the landing page for that on their website: https://www.interface.com/US/en-US/sustainability/carbon-reduction.html

Here's further detail on how Interface is planning to get there: https://www.interface.com/content/dam/interfaceinc/interface/sustainability/global/climate-ambition-summary/Interface_Climate%20Ambition%20Summary_FINAL.pdf

Interface has set and validated their Science Based Targets: https://www.interface.com/US/en-US/more-from-interface/press-room/interface-science-based-target

And they have made great progress already towards their SBTs (see page 15-16): https://www.interface.com/content/dam/interfaceinc/interface/sustainability/global/esg/esg-report/Interface%202023%20ESG%20Impact%20Report.pdf

Over half of the raw materials to make their products come from recycled an biobased materials (see page 22 of the above report)

Interface continues to drive the carbon footprint of our products down and saw reduction in all of our product categories last year (see page 23)

And they also launched a Global Sustainability Council to add structure, governance, and continue to elevate the importance of sustainability at Interface (see page 50).
