Atlanta, Ga. -- Interface recently announced its 2017 EcoMetrics report, demonstrating significant progress toward Mission Zero, which challenges the company to eliminate any negative impact it has on the environment by 2020. The updated metrics reveal Interface has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions intensity from energy use at manufacturing facilities by an estimated 96% since 1996. This continued investment and dedication to addressing climate change is, in part, what led to the company being named one of the top three global sustainability leaders in the 2018 GlobeScan-SustainAbility Leaders Survey. Interface is the only company to be recognized for 21 consecutive years, remaining in the top four since the study launched in 1997.

In 2016 the commercial flooring company embarked on a new sustainability mission, Climate Take Back, which moves the company from "doing no harm" to doing good. This new undertaking is focused on addressing global warming. As the company works to bring its Climate Take Back vision to life, it has unveiled products that store more carbon than it takes to make them, including a prototype tile, and subsequently, a new commercially available backing, CircuitBac Green.
