“I am very proud of the dedication our team has shown to advance the goals of the three pillars of our sustainability program,” said AWI CEO and President Vic Grizzle. “We have made great strides in operationalizing and embedding sustainability into our business at Armstrong. This report highlights how we’re making progress to lessen our own environmental impact while innovating and collaborating to bring products to market that our customers need to meet their own need for sustainable solutions.”
