Climate-Positive Future
Air Pollution
Through our double materiality assessment, we identified air pollution as a material topic. From a materiality standpoint, it is essential to distinguish between carbon emissions, or greenhouse gases (GHGs), and air pollution. While carbon emissions and GHGs are a subset of air pollution, they primarily focus on the release of specific gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide that contribute to climate change.
Mohawk tracks our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, providing insight into our direct and indirect contributions to GHG emissions. However, we recognize that these emissions do not encompass all forms of air pollution, which can include particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), among others. As such, in 2026, we intend to report information on the impacts, risks and opportunities associated with air pollution, in connection with requirements under the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, and we remain committed to addressing both GHG emissions and broader air pollution concerns through targeted initiatives and continuous improvement efforts.
Globally, our products adhere to some of the world’s most rigorous standards for the creation of healthy indoor air environments. These products and their Indoor Air Quality certifications may satisfy increased customer demand for lower-emitting products in the places where they live and work.
