The 2025 Flooring Sustainability Summit, taking place July 16–17 at the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., brings together leading voices across the flooring industry to tackle the rapidly evolving sustainability landscape. Hosted by key industry associations—including CRI, NWFA, NSI, NALFA, RFCI, and TCNA—the Summit will convene policymakers, manufacturers, architects, designers, procurement officers, and sustainability advocates for two days of dynamic discussions, networking, and collaborative working groups. Programming will include a pre-summit workshop for newcomers and sessions exploring critical areas such as shifting regulations, circular economy strategies, and the integration of sustainability across the supply chain. Attendees will gain tools to make informed business decisions, align with market trends, and stay ahead of regulatory expectations. With increasing demand for eco-conscious building materials and stricter sustainability standards, the Summit offers a timely opportunity for industry professionals to shape the future of green building. As Bill Griese, Chairman of the Summit and TCNA Deputy Executive Director, emphasized, this event has become the premier forum for aligning industry-wide efforts in sustainability. Key themes will include ESG principles, green procurement strategies, and actionable approaches to circular design and responsible resource use. Attendees will also explore how to improve stakeholder collaboration and communicate sustainability goals effectively across sectors.
