The Flooring Sustainability Summit will take place July 17–18 in Washington, D.C.
The event, sponsored by MAPEI Corporation and Mohawk Industries, is designed to bring together sustainability leaders in the flooring industry, along with architects, designers, policymakers and advocacy groups, to focus on green building standardization, health and material reporting and embodied carbon.
“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,” Summit Chairman Bill Griese said in a statement.
The summit will also be hosted by the Tile Council of North America, Natural Stone Institute, National Wood Flooring Association and North American Laminate Flooring Association.
