Mohawk Group Wins Evergreen Award

Kennesaw, GA, December 17, 2007—U.S. General Services Administration National Furniture Center presented The Mohawk Group the 2007 Evergreen Award during a recent reception in Washington, D.C.

The environmental award was given for Mohawk’s dedication to reducing waste by improving energy and resource efficiencies through innovative products, processes and services.

“Receiving the GSA Evergreen Award is a shining achievement in The Mohawk Group’s history,” said Al Kabus, president of The Mohawk Group.

Developed to recognize environmental stewards across all industries, the annual GSA Evergreen Award program selects organizations that proactively initiate programs such as recycling, affirmative procurement and waste reduction, in order to reduce the environmental footprint. Applicants are evaluated in five areas including waste prevention, recycling, affirmative procurement, environmental preferability and model facility.

The GSA Evergreen Award announcement comes just one month after The Mohawk Group and parent company Mohawk Industries unveiled its GreenWorks Center, an innovative, flexible recycling facility.

Mohawk Industries, which was honored with a GSA Evergreen Award in 2003, is the industry’s largest recycler, diverting more than three billion pounds of various waste materials from landfills in 2006 alone.:
