Shaw Issues Second Sustainability Report

Dalton, GA, Aug. 20, 2010--Shaw Industries released its second annual sustainability report, “Where Sustainability is Personal.”

The 2009 report offers a perspective on the company’s sustainability initiative, focusing on the personal commitment by Shaw employees to environmental and social responsibility.

The report also describes key metrics for environment and social responsibility, and provides an inside look at Shaw’s continued drive towards sustainability through innovation, called the Shaw Green Edge.

“Companies that willingly seek out and adopt new protocols for sustainable business today stand to make a difference now, and for generations to come,” said Shaw CEO Vance Bell.

Shaw’s report includes more disclosures, more metrics and more data than the company’s inaugural 2008 report, according to Jeff West, director of sustainability and environmental affairs for Shaw’s commercial division.
