VIDEO | Mohawk's George Bandy Jr. on the Social Side of Sustainability

The chief of sustainability at Mohawk, George Bandy Jr., is excited to continue to expand its sustainability experience to its new acquisitions. He's proud of his sustainability team and the passion and diversity they've brought into their work, as well as the "social" side that's the humanity beyond the often measurements-driven day-to-day. And that's a value for the customers, he points out.

"For us, we have to relate to the pets and the soccer moms just as well as we do the C-suite folks who are using our products inside the workplace," he said. The "global opportunity" for sustainability leadership can pay it forward.
