INVESTMENT
We're investing in innovative technologies to enable us to use fewer resources and less energy.
In fact, we are accelerating our investments in renewable energy. Today we invest through renewable energy credits, verified carbon offsets, and are beginning to invest in Milliken owned renewable energy projects. We have also invested in new, more efficient manufacturing technologies and in local supply chains for materials in each of our facilities. These investments allow us to continue our focus on reducing carbon in our products. We believe this is essential today in improving planetary health and protecting people.
Crafted in Americas Series LVT Reduces TransportationMATERIALS
We believe material health is essential to enable circularity. The use of materials that don't contain harmful chemicals is a critical pathway to end-of-life product recycling. Our products have 100% transparency in materials to 100 ppm. This level of materials transparency and a continued focus to improving material health is core to our commitment to reduce climate change. Our carpet, resilient flooring, and entryway tile are recyclable. Learn more about landfill diversion.

Humans are using more resources than the earth can produce each year. We continue to focus on increasing recycled materials in our products to support the advancement of a circular economy — one that uses less new raw materials and creates less waste.
- We have introduced recycled content in all parts of our carpet products. We challenge ourselves and our supply chains to extend innovation in new technologies for dematerialization.
- By using new technologies, our D/LUX series of products use less raw material which reduces embodied carbon.
MANUFACTURING
We aspire to leverage our global manufacturing and local supply chains to minimize carbon emissions. This includes sourcing materials locally when possible and manufacturing near customers to reduce shipping distances.
In fact, we manufacture locally for local markets in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia. More efficient manufacturing and distribution not only reduces our global carbon footprint, it also has a direct positive impact on the communities we call home. As a global manufacturing company, we set 2025 goals that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We push ourselves to meet our targets on Planet, Product, and People, including a 25% reduction in indexed greenhouse emissions by 2025. These 2025 goals are a benchmark for us to achieve more, faster.

Climate change directly impacts human health and wellness. Pollution. Natural disasters. Droughts.

VIEW D/LUX CARPET COLLECTIONSMilliken has a legacy of acting to positively impact our planet.
Roger Milliken understood the importance of planting what he called “noble trees.” He said, “You plant a noble tree for the next generation, for the future...”
That's why, at the heart of Milliken, you will find the passion and drive to make our planet cleaner, safer, and healthier for future generations.
Milliken established its first recycling policy. Began investing in renewable energy.
Milliken opens its first waste water treatment plant as a commitment to the planet and our communities, predating the Environmental Protection Agency.
Recognizing the importance of promoting green building practices, Milliken becomes a founding member of the U.S. Green Building Council.
Certified Life Cycle Assessment for Carpet.
Milliken becomes founding member of the Well Living Lab to redefine health and wellness in the built environment. 3rd Party Certified Red List Free Carpet.
It's not enough to change company policies and processes. We believe individual participation can have a deep and lasting effect on the nature and values of Milliken. So for two weeks, Milliken volunteers from around the world participated in a Global Cleanup event to discover, identify, collect, and dispose of litter. Milliken associates proudly collected over 26,000 pieces of litter.
Milliken is investing in new technology to enable our collective future. By supporting organizations like PureCycle Technologies or acquiring brands like Zebra-Chem, we hope to advance towards a truly circular economy with innovative capabilities that make incorporating recycled content in new products more seamless.
We've made a corporate commitment.
As a global company, we set 2025 goals that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These 2025 goals are a benchmark for us to achieve more, faster. We report on our progress towards these goals each year and push ourselves to meet our targets on Planet, Product, and People. As we look beyond 2025, we promise to do more, and continue to collaborate with others to slow climate change.
