impact of the buildings

Message from Our CEO


Armstrong has a history of environmental stewardship. Our flooring business began by using cork waste to manufacture linoleum flooring. More recently we introduced the Armstrong Ceiling Recycling Program that has recycled more than 70 million square feet of material that otherwise would have gone into landfills.

We are broadening our environmental stewardship efforts in four areas – energy and greenhouse gases, water, and forest management. These are the areas in which our company has a significant impact.

We are the largest wood flooring company in the world. Our ceiling operations are water-intensive and use a significant amount of energy. We are measuring our impact on the environment in the four focus areas, using 2006 as our baseline year for measuring progress towards meeting our improvement goals.
