AMERICAN OLEAN + SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is about maintaining high ethical standards and giving back more than we take. We challenge ourselves to do and be better every day, how we make decisions, through our commitment to a sustainable future for our planet and our people, and how we define what matters as we work to deliver value for generations to come.
Our Promise is to create beautiful tile responsibly. That means sustainability is at the core of what we do. Our pledge for sustainability is one we take seriously. Through hard work and careful thought, we have built a plan for the future held up by three pillars: Planet, People, and Governance.
PLANET
We want to be part of the solution, not the problem. Sustainability means never taking more from the planet than we can reasonably replenish.
100%
of our manufactured tile collections contain recycled materials.
Annually, we recover and reuse over
98%
of all process wastewater generated in our manufacturing plants to make our products.
Our measures conserve over
200 million gallons of water per year.
On average, our facilities recover and reuse over 385 million pounds of recycled and/or reclaimed material per year.
We've reduced our total energy consumption by 6%
across our sales service centers and distribution facilities since 2021.
All manufacturing statistics are based on full year data collected beginning in 2021 and only include products made in the following plants:
Dickson, TN (2 plants); Fayette, AL; Florence, AL; Gettysburg, PA; Muskogee, OK; Dallas, TX; El Paso, TX; Sunnyvale, TX; Monterrey, MX; and Salamanca, MX
PEOPLE
People hold a major role in the success of our Sustainability promise. Through investing in our people and their growth, we can better ensure that both our company and our product have a positive impact.
GOVERNANCE
Respect, health, safety, ethics, and opportunity for everyone is how we choose to define our workplace standards. We have employed high Standards of Conduct and Business Ethics that our team is dedicated to upholding.
LOOKING AHEAD
We have work to do, but the future is bright.
We look forward to building a better future with our exceptional products.
Beautifully responsible tile for our planet, our people, and values.
