Facilities

With ten factories on four continents, hundreds of showrooms and dozens of office spaces around the world, Interface^® recognizes that we can’t just manufacture products with reduced impacts, we have to reduce the impacts of our physical locations as well. We are adopting best in class green building and operational standards to reduce our building footprint.

LEED Certified Locations

Interface has several facilities around the world certified by U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification system, a third-party certification program that awards recognition for high performance green buildings.

We are honored that many of our LEED certified facilities were the first to be recognized in their region or category.

Operational Standards

All of our global factories have been certified to conform to ISO 14001, the international standard for environmental management systems. ISO 14001 helps us minimize the environmental impacts of our operations while working toward continuous improvement.

Retail Spaces

Our residential carpet tile business, FLOR, has retail stores all across the United States with additional stores opening both domestically and internationally. FLOR stores offer a unique opportunity to showcase low impact retail space. With input from leading sustainability-minded retail organizations and other experts in green building, FLOR adopted a “less is more” philosophy for store design, including features that reduce energy and water needs and utilize reclaimed materials.
