  1. Section 10 Sustainability

  2. Key Performance Indicators (KPI) • Resource stewardship=reduction of environmental footprint • 2008:Environmental audits in all plants • 2009 Implementation of Key Performance Indexes base line • 2010: All plants and distribution center gained ISO14001 certification in North America • 2010: 5% reduction goal for energy use, water consumption, waste

  3. Product, Raw Material & Recycling Initiatives • Implementation of Balanced Choice approach • Better raw materials • New bio-based materials: walnut shell, Linseed oil, rosin, wood, cork • Abundant in nature: oyster shells, limestone • Recycled content: • Post: 34 million lbs recycled in 2010; forecast of 60 million lbs in 2011 • Internal recycling: using grinding operations external to process more scrap material +20% • External recycling: +69% implementation of recycling programs 2009

  4. Product & Flooring System Design • Installation – new, innovative solutions • Spray Smart – less time, immediate occupancy • 80% less adhesive used • Maintenance – less polish used • IQ technology – no polish for life, few to no chemicals needed for cleaning

  5. Third Party Certification • Human experience is one of the most critical barometers of the success of a built environment. • FloorScore 3rd party certification for low VOC emissions 50% of limits of CA01350 • NSF-332 3rd party certification on individual products Multi-attributes • Based on loose LCA: design, raw materials, processes, durability, end of life. corporate governance • 4 levels: conformant, silver, gold and platinum • 5 product categories by end of 2012 • 2011 VCT (Houston) Gold • Targeted: IQ products/ Homogeneous; linoleum; rubber tile; VET/SVT; wall base • C2C silver Harmonium • Bio-preferred label 95% Harmonium • Safety floors • Color and Design

  6. Making life simpler • 3rd party certifications • EcoScorecard (for LEED points) • Online: www.johnsonite.com • Easy-to-use • 4 key information needed: • Product selection • Price (budget) no installation cost • Quantity • Zip code • Environmental scorecard available at the touch of a button

  7. Reclamation • ReUse/Recycle—ReStart program • 2003: Samples reclamation • 2005: Installation waste/ scrap material/post-consumer • 2009: 154 million lbs worldwide • 2008: Installed floors • 2009: 19 million lbs in North America • 2010: 34 million lbs in North America • ReStart Today • Installation waste -all product lines • Installed floors- job by job

  8. Sustainability is more than a word • We believe that sustainability is an every day practice and not just an idea. • St-Matthew Island: life cycle between 1940 and 1966 • “…development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" World Commission on the Environment and Development

  9. Cradle to Cradle company • Time line: 2020 • Partnering with the German scientific institute EPEA (Environmental Protection and Encouragement Agency) • William McDonough • Michael Braungart • Co-authored Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the way we make things • EPEA’s mission • study products and associated material flows and develop alternative materials that are safer both for the environment and for our health.

  10. Cradle to Cradle company • What does it mean? • Sustainability is an everyday practice • Eco-innovation: design through lifecycle analysis (LCA) for reduced environmental impact • Raw materials: reviewed and improved when needed • Manufacturing: goal 50% renewable energy • Product has no end of life only end of use • Nutrient for the earth (organic) or process (technical) • 100% recyclability of all products

  11. Life cycle of a product Virgin product Reuse as flooring Rosin Flax (linseed) Cork Grind and reuse in virgin product Reuse in other applications Combustion Biodegradation to Reuse of TiO2 & CaCO3 Compost, Alternative backflow of CaCO3 Biogas, or Wood Biochar Nutrient back flow

  12. Community involvement • Architecture for Humanity- Haiti project • Plain School Tuscaloosa AL-rebuilding a school
