NEW YORK—Consolidated Carpet has launched a new corporate sustainability program. To help achieve this, the company has commissioned consultant YRG to develop the best sustainability program in the industry by reviewing both its professional practices and daily business operations. It is scheduled to take place into 2010.

“As one of the nation’s largest full-service floor covering contractors, Consolidated is committed to providing innovative sustainable and reclamation services for every project,” said David Meberg, president and CEO. “We’re proud to be at the forefront of carpet reclamation, or recycling unused broadloom, and have been collecting used carpet for reclamation studies since the late 1980s.”

Consolidated’s executive team has just created an internal “green team,” designed to foster employee-driven initiatives throughout the company that incorporate an environmental perspective into the company’s daily operations. Additionally, the company is currently working toward becoming a “green facility” by reducing waste in its offices and warehouses, minimizing energy usage and better managing potable water usage, among other initiatives.
