Over the next few weeks, we will run a Q+A series to showcase some of the incredible change-makers who are speaking at Living Future 2020 Online. This week, we are featuring Rami Vagal, Senior Sustainability Manager at Mohawk Industries, our Luminary Sponsor of LF20.
Natalie Quek: What does sustainability look like to you?
Rami Vagal: Sustainability, its relevance and what it means, continues to evolve with time and the urgency of issues. It also varies based on one’s geographic and socioeconomic differences. For me, it has changed over a period of time from when I was growing up in India, a developing country, to where I am today in the U.S., working as a sustainability professional for one of the world’s largest flooring companies. It is about the viability of current and future well-being, both social and environmental. It is about taking a whole systems approach in our decision-making. It’s about balancing the benefits and dis-benefits of the economic, environmental and social consequences of our decisions and so much more.
