Sustainability if part of Shaw Contract’s DNA and brand values, and it is for this reason that we are proud to join HQE-GBC.
 
At the heart of Shaw Contract, we create products and solutions that can positively impact people and the planet.  
 
Our view of sustainability encompasses not only the environmental health of our products and our operations, but also how our products impact human experience. The flooring products we make undergo rigorous testing for human and environmental impact through the Cradle to Cradle Certified™ Products Programme, and our carpet tiles are manufactured in carbon neutral facilities worldwide.  
            
The HQE commitments based on quality of life, respect for the environment, economic performance and responsible management correspond in all respects to our own vision.
 
Our People Together, Planet Forever marque represents our commitment to a sustainable approach that embraces four key points of ambition.  These are Material Health, reducing Carbon Impact, supporting the move to a Circular Economy, and enabling Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.  
We are a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact and were a framework partner for the WorldGBC’s Health and Wellbeing Framework. 
Working in France with an office in Paris, and with a European manufacturing base in Scotland, it
was important for us to join HQE-GBC, and we are extremely pleased to be a member.
