Interface, Inc. is likely the leader in corporate sustainability, and now, according to GreenBiz News, the company has taken another step towards its goal of "show[ing] the entire industrial world what sustainability is in all its dimensions: people, process, product, place and profits - by 2020 - and in doing so ... becom[ing] restorative through the power of influence" by partnering with Florestras de Futura, a Brazilian non-profit, to create CARPETree, a program that will plant one tree in Brazil's "Atlantic Forest for every 25 square meters of commercial carpet products sold." This is double-duty for Interface, of course, since so many of its products are produced from sustainable materials and processes.
