HomePress ReleaseMilliken publishes second annual sustainability report

Spartanburg, S.C.—The Milliken floor covering division released its second annual sustainability report with detailed insight and metrics addressing the company’s global operations, product offering and their impact on the environment.

To create the report, stakeholders confirmed the material issues pertinent to architecture and interior design: chemical and human health impacts, recycled content and recyclability, resource consumption, supply chain impacts of products and employer of choice. The report meets the requirements of the LEED v4 MRc3 credit.

“This report confirms that the most environmentally responsible action Milliken can take is to design high-performing products with healthy materials that last,” said Philip Ivey, global sustainability leader for the Milliken floor covering division. “By doing so, we reduce the need for replacement—which in turn inhibits a chain reaction of environmental impacts. It protects our customers, their investment and the environment.”
