The chief of sustainability at Mohawk, George Bandy Jr., is excited to continue to expand its sustainability experience to its new acquisitions. He's proud of his sustainability team and the passion and diversity they've brought into their work, as well as the "social" side that's the humanity beyond the often measurements-driven day-to-day. And that's a value for the customers, he points out.
