ARLINGTON, Va, – MAPEI Corp. and Mohawk Industries’ Daltile/Mohawk Group have signed on as headline sponsors of the Flooring Sustainability Summit on July 17-18 in Washington.

The Flooring Sustainability Summit will bring together sustainability leaders within the flooring industry, architects and designers, policymakers, advocacy groups and more.

Brittany Storm, MAPEI’s sustainability manager, says that company has supported various sustainability initiatives since its founding in 1937. “We know the importance of building with sustainable materials and the long-term positive impacts it will have on the environment,” she says.

“Sustainability is not merely about products – it’s a guiding principle that shapes every aspect of our operations,” says Malisa Maynard, chief sustainability officer at Mohawk Industries. “We firmly believe that our future hinges on the actions we take today.”
