Listen Later

My guest is Rob Coombs. Rob is the Managing Director of Interface Australia, part of the global group of this major commercial flooring manufacturer. Rob leads Interface’s business operations in Australia and New Zealand.

Some of the highlights of the conversation from my interview here with Rob include learning about Interface's purpose, which is "To lead business to love the world", saving $650million through waste reduction initiatives, how Interface is applying the principle of "radical collaboration", working with competitors to find solutions to problems that they can't solve on their own, and how Interface Australia responded to one of their factories burning down.
