Erin Meezan was one of the keynote speakers at the 2020 This Way to Sustainability Conference. As VP and Chief Sustainability Officer at Interface, her role is to lead a global team to carry forward the company's mission Climate Take Back, tackling the single biggest
threat facing humanity: global climate change. This mission is focused on creating a path for Interface (a sustainable flooring materials manufacturer) and others to reverse global warming, not just reduce carbon emissions. Her goal is to address sustainability at all levels in the business – from operations and management, to employees and customers, and in policy forums. Erin and her team also develop industry‐leading approaches to measurement, driving transparency and innovation in the field of sustainability, while also capturing successes as the company nears its Mission Zero targets in 2020. In this talk she detailed what this has meant for Interface and how they hope to influence standards and practices throughout the industry.
