ATLANTA - November 5, 2025 - Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: TILE), the global flooring solutions company and leader in sustainability, announced that Newsweek named it one of America's Greenest Companies of 2026. The recognition acknowledges the manufacturer's 30-year history as a sustainability leader, continued carbon reduction progress, and commitment to be carbon negative by 2040. Interface is the only flooring company on the list for the second year in a row.
Newsweek cites the manufacturer's 1.5ºC-aligned 2030 science-based targets as proof that its climate commitments are in line with the level of action needed to limit the increase in global temperature. The 2030 targets are third-party validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and represent an important milestone toward the company's carbon negative by 2040 goal. Interface's targets commit to reductions over an 11-year period, from 2019 to 2030. After just five years, it has already passed the halfway point toward each target, signifying that the company is ahead of pace to achieve its 2030 climate goals.
Interface continues to launch and market new innovations that align with its 'all in' commitment to be carbon negative by 2040. These advancements are made possible by repurposing former carbon offset investments into projects that accelerate carbon reduction and carbon storage. Two recent achievements include the introduction of the first-ever carbon negative rubber prototype and the integration of captured carbon into its U.S. and European carpet tile manufacturing processes. Both represent Interface's continued investment in new raw materials and other innovative solutions to help avoid, reduce, and store more carbon across its own products and operations, and throughout its supply chain.
"Being named one of America's Greenest Companies shows that our 'all in' commitment is resonating," said Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface. "Our approach is simple: avoid, reduce, and store more carbon wherever we can. And we want to inspire others to join us, so together we create a ripple effect for an even bigger impact. After 30 years, we've proven that a flooring company can succeed without compromising the planet. If we can do it, anyone can."
The awards program, part of Newsweek's annual ranking in collaboration with Plant-A Insights and GIST Impact, is in its third year. The list highlights public and private U.S. companies dedicated to reducing their environmental impact and addressing the climate crisis. Eligible companies are evaluated and scored on more than 25 parameters related to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water use, waste generation, and sustainability data disclosure and commitments. Each company must also meet the European Union's sustainability standards and evaluate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues, including biodiversity, climate change, and human rights.
