At Mohawk, decision makers saw enormous opportunities and potential — for both their company and the people and communities they serve — in taking a holistic corporate approach to sustainability, health and wellness.
Like

• Product transparency: Mohawk offers an extensive portfolio of products with complete disclosure of ingredients and chemicals through Declare labels, which are like "nutrition labels" for building materials. 
• Air: Hypoallergenic Unified Soft Flooring (USF) solution minimizes physical stress on installers and features moisture resistance that reduces household odors. Composed of 100 percent recycled PET, Air.o can be completely recycled into new carpet at end-of-life.
• Lichen: The world’s first floor covering to achieve Living Product Challenge Petal Certification is inspired by the idea of "Nature’s Carpet." 
• EcoFlex matrix: The latest addition to the EcoFlex family of carpet tile backings is a lighter-weight option for shipment to customers. 
• Virtual reality:  This tool saves time and eliminates the endless trail of mockups and sample materials that otherwise would end up in a landfill.

Over the years, approaches to sustainability have evolved into this notion of holistic corporate social responsibility. They have manifested themselves into initiatives around safety, wellness and training programs that help our associates lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. It also translates into actively working in our respective communities to improve the lives of their neighbors — from donating and delivering more than 100,000 bottles of water to hurricane-devastated Houston to hosting farmers’ markets at the facilities for supporting the Appalachian Trail Conservancy with a portion of Lichen’s profits.
