MAPEI Corp. and Mohawk Industries’ Daltile/Mohawk Group businesses have signed on as headline sponsors of the Flooring Sustainability Summit, set for July 17-18 in Washington, D.C. The event will bring together sustainability leaders within the flooring industry, architects and designers, policymakers, advocacy groups and more.
“MAPEI is proud to be a headline sponsor for the first Flooring Sustainability Summit,” said Brittany Storm, the company’s sustainability manager. “At MAPEI, one of our core beliefs is 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.”
“Across all of our global businesses at Mohawk, we firmly believe our future hinges on the actions we take today,” noted Malisa Maynard, chief sustainability officer at Mohawk Industries. “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 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.”
“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,” stated 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.”
The conference agenda features dynamic panel discussions focused on green building standardization, health and material reporting, and embodied carbon. Additional event and registration information can be found at https://flooringsummit.com.
