SUSTAINABILITYIn line with our 2025 Product goals our carpet design strategy has been developed to help to create circular economies through internal assessments and industry-wide collaborations. We use Life Cycle Assessment methodologies, including BRE Environmental Profiles and Environmental Product Declarations, to design products that not only minimise their environmental impact but also help improvewell-being and productivity by making the workplace healthier, happier and safer. Wherever possible, we develop products with recycled content and locally sourced raw materials.Our sustainable product strategy is guided by three principles: 1.
