From initial design to manufacture, we seek to implement sustainable practices so that we minimize our impact on the planet and its people and create products that can contribute to the creation of healthy spaces. Part of this objective requires us to fully understand the broad impacts of our supply chain and to collaborate with our suppliers.
Building a Sustainable Supply Chain
A sustainable supply chain—one that minimizes our social and environmental impacts and encourages a proactive response to climate change and biodiversity crises—is an issue of material importance to Armstrong. The vast majority of our suppliers are located in the United States. We source some inputs for our mineral fiber tiles from Europe. We also procure some materials from Asia for our Architectural Specialties products.
Supplier Code of Conduct
We expect all our suppliers to follow the terms of our Supplier Code of Conduct, including compliance with environmental laws and regulations, mitigation of environmental impact and protection of employees’ health and safety. The Supplier Code of Conduct also includes expectations around key International Labor Organization conventions on the protection of human rights, avoidance of forced or child labor, and protection against discrimination.
Product Transparency
Transparency around the human health and environmental impacts of our company is an important way we can contribute to building healthier spaces for all.
To give customers and prospective customers ready access to this information, we centralize the certification documentation on our Transparency resource page and we also offer Green Genie™ a sustainable product search tool, powered by Ecomedes, to help users find the right solution, as well as the required submission documentation for the major green building rating systems.
