Interface Inc.

Interface Inc., a US-headquartered company in the Carpet and Rug Mills industry, is actively addressing its carbon footprint and has set ambitious climate targets.

In 2024, Interface's total reported greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 392,842,000 kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions of around 4,777,000 kg CO2e (primarily from mobile combustion, totalling 2,409,400 kg CO2e), market-based Scope 2 emissions of approximately 5,962,000 kg CO2e (or location-based Scope 2 emissions of 31,106,000 kg CO2e), and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 382,103,000 kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 included purchased goods and services (about 179,162,000 kg CO2e), use of sold products (approximately 139,645,000 kg CO2e), and downstream transportation and distribution (around 22,475,000 kg CO2e).

Looking ahead, Interface has projected its total emissions for 2025 to be approximately 409,797,000 kg CO2e. This includes estimated Scope 1 emissions of 10,944,000 kg CO2e, market-based Scope 2 emissions of 5,773,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of 393,050,000 kg CO2e.

Interface has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. The company aims to become carbon negative by 2040 as part of its Climate Take Back™ mission, and signed The Climate Pledge in 2021, committing to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, a decade ahead of the Paris Agreement.

The company has set near-term Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets:

• Scope 1 and 2 Emissions: Interface commits to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030, using a 2019 base year.
• Scope 3 Emissions: Interface also commits to reduce absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from purchased goods and services by 50% and from business travel and employee commuting by 30% within the same timeframe (2030 from a 2019 base year).

Furthermore, Interface previously aimed for its manufacturing sites to be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2020.
