This honor reflects our commitment to sustainability and our focus on innovative products, including our new Templok® Energy Saving Ceilings and Ultima® Low Embodied Carbon ceiling panels, which aim to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions generated by the construction and operations of buildings. At AWI, we believe that sustainable practices are integral to our business strategy and essential for the future of our planet.

In alignment with its commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility, Armstrong World Industries' 2024 Sustainability Report highlights key initiatives and progress around the company's core sustainability pillars: Healthy and Circular Products, Healthy Planet and Thriving People and Communities. Key areas of focus include reducing company-generated carbon emissions, increasing sourcing of renewable energy, eliminating chemicals of concerns from AWI's full product portfolio and the ongoing ceiling recycling program that has diverted almost 220 million square feet of ceiling tiles from landfill.

The ranking was determined through a comprehensive analysis of data from both public and private companies operating in the U.S. To ensure the highest standards, only companies that meet the European Union's stringent sustainability criteria—considered the most advanced globally—were eligible.
