InterfaceFLOR, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of environmentally responsible modular floor coverings, is expanding its presence in the region with a new office in Dubai.

The company, which is aiming for LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification for its new office, produces innovative, fashionable and sustainable carpet tiles.

The company will be using its enhanced presence in the region and its green building rating systems knowledge to support customers with their own green buildings and LEED projects, helping them to become more sustainable and save money in the process.

The LEED recognition will add to InterfaceFLOR’s impressive commitment to Sustainability and Mission Zero - InterfaceFLOR’s ambitious bid to achieve a zero environmental footprint by 2020.

“We are completely driven by our goal to eliminate any negative impact our company may have had on the environment and fervently hope that other businesses operating in the Middle East will follow suit and reap great dividends through exploring sustainable options,” said Lindsey Parnell, president and CEO, InterfaceFLOR Europe, Middle East, Africa and India.

Globally, six out of eight platinum commercial interior LEED projects already use InterfaceFLOR carpets and the company intends to extend that figure, as the number of LEED projects in the region increases exponentially, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
