The Flooring Sustainability Summit 2025, set for July 16-17 in Washington, DC will be building on the success of last year’s inaugural event. The 2025 Summit will be hosted by prominent associations representing the full spectrum of the flooring industry, including the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI), National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), Natural Stone Institute (NSI), North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA), Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI), and Tile Council of North America (TCNA).
The Flooring Sustainability Summit 2025 will bring together policymakers, advocacy groups, standards organizations, manufacturers, distributors, construction professionals, architects, designers, and procurement officers. Summit participants will have the opportunity to engage in dynamic panel discussions, networking sessions, and working groups that will provide valuable learning opportunities and foster connections with key sustainability decision-makers.
The sustainability landscape of 2025 presents new challenges and opportunities that will continue to evolve in the coming years. By bringing the entire flooring industry together, the Summit ensures collective efforts and contributions to green building that are aligned with marketplace trends, architectural initiatives, and the evolving demands of regulatory and standardization bodies.
The Summit provides participants with the essential tools and knowledge needed to make informed business decisions and navigate current and future chapters of sustainability. The program will include a pre-summit workshop designed to introduce newcomers to the key sustainability initiatives, major players, and terminology shaping green buildings in the flooring sector today.
