Interface Completes Pilot Social Life Cycle Assessment of Natural Rubber

Atlanta, GA, November 4, 2026—Interface completed a pilot Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) of natural rubber used within select Nora rubber flooring products. 

The company is the first flooring manufacturer to publish an ISO-compliant S-LCA covering the life cycle of natural rubber production with one of its suppliers. The pilot helps build a broader understanding of product impact by exploring the people and communities connected to material production.

Conducted in alignment with the ISO 14075:2024 framework, the pilot assessment was designed to help Interface better understand the social conditions associated with natural rubber production and sourcing. By establishing a social performance baseline, the work can help identify strengths, data gaps, and opportunities that may inform supplier engagement and responsible sourcing conversations over time. The work represents an exploratory application of an emerging methodology within a specific part of Interface’s raw material supply chain.
