(May 30, 2025 — Arlington, VA) – Mohawk Industries’ Daltile/Mohawk Group and MAPEI Corporation are once again leading the charge toward a more sustainable future as headline sponsors of the second annual Flooring Sustainability Summit, taking place July 16–17, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
Following the success of the inaugural event, this year’s Summit builds on that momentum—bringing together manufacturers, designers, policymakers, and sustainability leaders to collaborate on forward-thinking strategies that drive environmental progress across the flooring industry.
Their continued sponsorship underscores a strong, shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and industry-wide action.
“By supporting this event, Mohawk, Daltile and MAPEI are helping to advance the Flooring Sustainability Summit’s mission of fostering meaningful dialogue across the industry,” said Summit Chairman Bill Griese. “In a space that’s constantly evolving—and where well-intentioned efforts can sometimes be misaligned—it’s critical that we come together, beyond competitive boundaries, to work toward shared objectives. This Summit provides a much-needed forum for suppliers, installers, designers, owners, standards developers, and policymakers to align, exchange perspectives, and set informed priorities. That’s how we avoid confusion in the marketplace and ensure our sustainability efforts are purposeful, current, and headed in the right direction.”
“As a leader in sustainable flooring, we are committed to making a measurable impact through our products and practices,” added Malisa Maynard, Chief Sustainability Officer at Mohawk/Daltile. “We’re thrilled to continue our sponsorship of the Flooring Sustainability Summit, as this event allows us to engage with innovative thought leaders to drive meaningful change throughout the flooring industry.”
“MAPEI is proud to once again support this vital platform for conversation and collaboration,” said Jim Whitfield, Director of Technical Services at MAPEI. “The Flooring Sustainability Summit is a natural extension of MAPEI’s unwavering commitment to innovation, technical excellence, and environmental responsibility. It’s a place where industry leaders come together to shape a more sustainable future, and I’m proud to see MAPEI continuing to lead the conversation and drive meaningful progress in our industry as Headline Sponsor for a second year.”
The 2025 Summit will feature expert panels, industry briefings, and peer-to-peer sessions covering the evolving sustainability landscape, flooring circularity, and supply chain collaboration. The event provides a unique opportunity for industry stakeholders to engage in high-impact conversations shaping the future of sustainable flooring.
