will explain how an impassioned speech Ray Anderson, the
chairman and CEO of Interface, Inc., made laid the groundwork
for a forward thinking environmental vision. His ideas
created a tidal wave of change within the company, and
the industry. Anderson provided the company’s associates
with a new goal. He wanted Interface to become a restorative
enterprise—one that returns more to the earth than
it consumes during manufacturing processes. The sustainability
quest, mandated in 1994, still dominates the company's
culture. Joyce will explain how Interface makes products
in a way that is sensitive to environmental concerns and
future generations. She will outline the company’s
plans to achieve sustainability by 2020. |
