Interface Releases 2025 Impact Report

Key Terms

esg financial

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, which are key factors investors consider when evaluating how sustainable and responsible a company is. It involves assessing how a company manages its impact on the environment, treats its employees and communities, and operates transparently and ethically. Investors use ESG criteria to identify businesses that align with their values and have the potential for long-term success.

scope 3 medical

Scope 3 describes all greenhouse gas emissions that occur upstream and downstream of a company’s direct operations—things like emissions from suppliers, transportation, product use, and disposal. Think of it as the hidden carbon footprint tied to everything a business buys, sells, or enables; it matters to investors because these indirect emissions can drive regulatory costs, supply-chain disruption, consumer preference shifts, and long-term valuation risk that aren’t visible on a company’s factory floor or utility bill.

cradle to gate technical

Cradle to gate is a way of measuring the environmental impact of a product from the extraction of raw materials (the “cradle”) up to the point it leaves the factory or supplier (the “gate”), but not including its use or disposal. For investors, it highlights the emissions, resource use, and regulatory or supply-chain risks tied to making a product—think of weighing the footprint of a loaf of bread from farm to bakery door, which can affect costs, compliance and consumer demand.

global reporting initiative regulatory

A global reporting initiative is a widely used set of standards and guidelines companies follow to disclose their environmental, social and governance performance—think of it as a common recipe that helps firms report on things like emissions, labor practices and supply‑chain impacts in a consistent way. Investors use these reports to compare companies, assess long‑term risks and spot opportunities that aren't visible in financial statements alone.

sustainability accounting standards board regulatory

A Sustainability Accounting Standards Board is an independent organization that creates clear, industry-specific rules for companies to report sustainability information that could affect their financial performance, such as environmental impact, social practices, or governance. For investors it acts like a standardized checklist or recipe, making it easier to compare companies, spot risks and opportunities tied to sustainability, and include those factors in investment decisions.

taskforce on climate-related financial disclosures regulatory

A set of voluntary guidelines created to help companies report how climate change could affect their finances and operations, covering risks (like severe weather or policy changes) and opportunities (like new low‑carbon products). For investors it acts like a common checklist and map, making it easier to compare companies’ exposure and preparedness for climate-related impacts and to make informed decisions about risk and value.

carbon negative technical

A carbon negative company or activity removes more greenhouse gases from the atmosphere than it emits, either by cutting emissions and actively capturing or offsetting more carbon than it produces. For investors this matters because it can reduce regulatory and reputational risk, open new revenue streams (carbon credits, green premiums), and signal long-term resilience as economies shift toward low-carbon rules—think of it like having a savings account of carbon removed rather than a debt.

circularity technical

Circularity describes a situation where a company's financial resources or products are used in a loop that depends on ongoing input or support from outside sources, creating a cycle that can be hard to break. For investors, it highlights potential risks of reliance on continuous funding or external factors, which can affect the company's stability and long-term prospects. Think of it like a hamster wheel—constant movement without making real progress.

Latest Update Highlights Climate Progress, Culture Investments, and Operational Excellence

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Interface, Inc., the global flooring and sustainability leader, today released its 2025 Impact Report. The report outlines the company’s progress across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. It highlights how responsible business practices, investments in people and culture, and continued climate progress can drive meaningful impact and create long-term value.

The report highlights the company’s approach to ESG:

• Environmental: Advance ‘all in’ strategy to be carbon negative by 2040, avoiding, reducing, and storing more carbon than ever before to reach bold climate goals.
• Social: Cultivate a values-driven culture to create a safe and healthy environment for all employees and support the communities where we live and work.
• Governance: Remain steadfast in conducting business ethically and responsibly and driving growth for all stakeholders.

“2025 was a record year for Interface. Our Impact Report demonstrates what’s possible when strong performance and responsible business go hand in hand,” said Laurel Hurd, CEO of Interface. “For more than 50 years, we’ve run our business with purpose and without compromise. It’s how we create positive impacts for our people, shareholders, customers, and the planet. As we look ahead, we remain focused on scaling that impact and leading by example.”

Interface achieved the following in 2025:

• Made meaningful carbon reductions across product types, with its total product portfolio footprint down 4% versus last year
• Added captured carbon to carpet tile manufacturing processes to lower the carbon footprint and store more carbon
• Introduced the first carbon negative rubber flooring prototype when measured cradle to gate, now offering 450+ carbon negative flooring options depending on location
• Accelerated circularity efforts by making post-consumer recycled content easier to specify across carpet tile backings
• Reduced Scope 3 upstream emissions from purchased goods and services, the company’s largest emissions category, by 2% year-over-year
• Embedded sustainability more deeply into procurement with supplier carbon maturity assessments
• Expanded employee feedback processes and culture development with pulse surveys and dedicated culture coaching
• Invested in leadership development to enhance the continuous growth and capabilities across the global leadership team

The 2025 Impact Report provides transparency into the company’s environmental footprint, including carbon footprint by product type, use of recycled, bio-based, and captured carbon materials, use of renewable energy, and enhanced employee metrics and demographic data. The report follows traditional disclosure practices. It aligns with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and Taskforce on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
