HMTX Industries announced that it has received a renewed JUST 2.0 Social Justice Label for its U.S. employees and operations. This follows two years after the company became the first manufacturer in the world to achieve the JUST 2.0 label, and HMTX said it remains the only major flooring manufacturer with this achievement. Improved scores were realized in nine areas: Training/Education, Volunteering, Family/Medical Leave, Retirement Provision, Full-Time Employment, Gender Diversity, Gender Pay Equity, Well-Being, and Local Communities.
“The purpose of JUST is not merely to take stock of where you are, but to also help you determine where you need to go and how you can get there,” said HMTX Director of Sustainability and Impact Arthur Clarke. “We began working on enhancements to our programs and policies when we received the initial JUST label in 2020 for HMTX’s domestic employees and operations. Since then, we’ve introduced a tuition assistance plan and a volunteer time-off program, as well as offering qualifying employees up to six weeks of additional paid time-off for mothers and fathers to bond with an adoptive or biological child. Those are just several of the advances that we’ve made regarding social justice and equity - and we’re not stopping there.”
