Mapei and Mohawk to Sponsor Flooring Sustainability Summit

By FLOOR Trends & Installation Editors
flooring sustainability summit
April 17, 2024

Mapei Corporation and Mohawk Industries’ Daltile/Mohawk Group businesses have signed on as headline sponsors for the upcoming Flooring Sustainability Summit. The event is scheduled for July 17-18 in Washington, D.C. 

Mapei is a leader in the construction industry, providing total installation solutions for tile and stone, floor covering and decorative concrete. The company has been in business for more than 85 years. Mohawk Industries is the world’s largest flooring manufacturer with operations on five continents. Daltile is the largest provider of residential and commercial ceramic tile in North America, while Mohawk Group focuses on flooring solutions for commercial projects. 

The Flooring Sustainability Summit will bring together leaders from within the flooring industry, as well as architects, designers, policymakers and advocacy groups. The event will feature panel discussions, networking sessions and working groups focused on sustainability. 

“Mapei is proud to be a headline sponsor for the first Flooring Sustainability Summit,” says Brittany Storm, the company’s sustainability manager. “At Mapei, one of our core beliefs is that we should be good shepherds for the environment – a belief that Mapei has held dear since we were founded in Milan, Italy in 1937. Mapei has supported various sustainability-driven initiatives, as we know the importance of building with sustainable materials, and the long-term positive impacts it will have on the environment. We like to say sustainability is built into everything we do, from operations to sales, Mapei is committed to being transparent and reducing our impacts to deliver healthy and sustainable solutions to the built environment.” 

Mohawk Industries’ Chief Sustainability Officer Malisa Maynard says the company’s participation in the Summit aligns with Mohawk’s broader sustainability goals. 

"Across all of our global businesses at Mohawk, we firmly believe that our future hinges on the actions we take today," says Maynard. "Sustainability is not merely about products —it's a guiding principle that shapes every aspect of our operations. It's about continuous improvement, ethical decision-making, and investing in our workforce, our communities and the environment. We want to set a precedent for what truly matters by creating lasting value for future generations. We look forward to joining other flooring sustainability leaders at the Summit, and we are proud to be a headline sponsor of this first-of-its-kind event.” 

The Summit’s agenda will include panel discussions on green building standardization, health and material reporting, and embodied carbon. In addition to Mapei and Mohawk, the event is being co-hosted by the Tile Council of North America, Natural Stone Institute, National Wood Flooring Association and North American Laminate Flooring Association. 

“We’re grateful for Mapei and Mohawk’s support of this event and their dedication to our shared goal of advancing sustainability initiatives throughout the entire flooring industry,” said Summit Chairman Bill Griese. “As multi-divisional flooring companies, their support symbolizes the Summit’s aim for proactive cooperation between different flooring sectors, alongside sustainability professionals, standards organizations, policymakers, designers, and procurement officials. With flooring being such a major component of building interiors, this is an important opportunity for increased dialogue across a broad group of stakeholders to foster relationships, identify potential areas of harmonization, and work together to mitigate marketplace confusion.”
