George Bandy, vice president of sustainability for Mohawk Industries, opened the Greenbuild plenary session. Bandy offered words on the compelling and unifying nature of the green building movement and talked about Mohawk’s own strides in sustainability.
“When we are here we are 'all in,” Bandy said. “We celebrate together, learn together, commiserate over common challenges and congratulate each other on individual victories. We are a family and bound by a common interest in using the built environment to shape a more sustainable future for everyone.”
