For many years, we've generated renewable energy from 3.3 acres or 3,900 solar panels on the rooftops of various buildings at our Salem, New Jersey facility. In 2023, the output was about 677,406 kilowatt hours that helped power the site.
In 2022, we undertook two significant workstreams to better understand and begin to address our long-term environmental impact:
Committing to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and gathering data to determine our current energy, water and waste intensity.
Taking immediate steps to reduce net global emissions by offsetting at 105% the equivalent “cradle-to-gate” greenhouse gas emissions of our domestically manufactured commercial flooring products.
Mannington’s corporate responsibility strategy aligns with the core values that have guided our business for generations, since our founding in 1915 – Care, Do the Right Thing, Control Our Own Destiny and Work Hard/Play Hard.
Corporate responsibility efforts are led by the Vice President of Sustainability who works with executive leadership and manufacturing teams to create a formal and rigorous environmental, social responsibility and governance framework.
Mannington Mills, Inc. regularly assesses our potential business risks and proactively works across our organization to reduce and/or manage these possible impacts in a wide variety of ways.
Today, our corporate responsibility approach is informed by the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and numerous Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where we can have the greatest impact.
We’re proud that our VP of Sustainability, Shane Totten, was just one of 30 people participating in the 2023 class of the Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership’s (IGEL) immersive environmental education and leadership development program. IGEL introduces participants to the vast potential that exists in the region to collaboratively help resolve environmental challenges now and in the future. IGEL is a program of The Center for Ethics and Corporate Responsibility at the Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University.
