Environmental Strategy at Designtex

Recognizing that climate change is at a critical juncture, Designtex has cemented its commitment to operate as a carbon-neutral company.  The New York-based textile and surface solutions company announced today that it has reduced the greenhouse gas footprint of its operations to net zero.  “I am pleased to say that we have reduced or offset 100% of the CO2 emissions from all of our facilities. In addition, we are offsetting all of Designtex’s business travel, employee commuting, and all product shipments into and out of our warehouse,” said Tom Hamilton, President and CEO of Designtex.

Since the mid-1990s, Designtex has been at the forefront of innovative, sustainable product design. In early 2007, Designtex began a commitment to reduce its corporate footprint with a three-year contract to offset its headquarters’ energy use. The company’s Environmental Strategy department has spent the intervening years implementing internal waste reduction and energy efficiency measures, while researching and analyzing its carbon footprint and potential carbon offset partners.
