What’s Love Got to do With It? Becoming a Sustainable Business—The Interface Story

  • Thursday, October 26, 2017
  • 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
  • Institute for Human and Machine Cognition 40 South Alcaniz Street Pensacola, FL 32502

Erin Meezan, Chief Sustainability Officer at Interface will share the story of this global flooring manufacturer’s transformation from a self-proclaimed “plunderer of the earth” to a leading voice in sustainable manufacturing.

The discussion will focus on the role of purpose in guiding and managing a business and what opportunities you can unlock when the organization is aligned behind this purpose. The discussion will highlight areas such as increased innovation, deepened employee engagement and enhanced corporate reputation. In the words of Interface founder Ray Anderson, this approach to business has emerged “not only as the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do from a pure business perspective.”
