Welcome to Sustain Talks where I discuss the world of Sustainability and CSR with an array of interesting people I come across on my journey.    In this week’s Sustain Talks I’m delighted to speak to Becky Gordon, Regional Sustainability Manager at Interface, one of the world’s most sustainable conscious companies.    Interface won a UN award for their work on carbon and have delivered their mission zero commitment in part becoming the first global flooring manufacturer to sell all products as carbon neutral across their full life cycle.   Becky tells us more about the history of the company and how she ensures that sustainability remains a core part of everybody’s role within their business. If you are looking to drive sustainability throughout your business, then this interview has some really valuable lessons.
