O'Connor noted that Mohawk has a number of environmental partnerships and certifications, including alliances with the EPA Green Power Partnership, the EPA SmartWay Transport Partnership, Green-e Marketplace, Green Seal, the Rainforest Alliance and the Forest Stewardship Council. It also offers an environmental calculator on its website, allowing buyers to determine how much they'll save by using post-consumer recycled paper. Mohawk has also made renewable energy a major priority. "As a leader in environmentally and socially responsible business practices, Mohawk was the first U.S. manufacturer of commercial printing papers to match 100 percent of its electricity with wind-power renewable energy credits, and the first U.S. premium paper mill to shift toward carbon-neutral production," O'Connor said.
