Community Involvement


Sustainable Connections
http://sustainableconnections.org/
We envision a thriving, collaborative community where local businesses are prosperous, and contribute to a healthy environment and the well-being of all citizens.To be the local forum where businesses come together to transform and model an economy built on sustainable practices.

We work with local, independently owned businesses that have the autonomy to make any transformational change in their business that they can imagine… reexamining where we buy goods and services, how we consume energy, grow and distribute our food, build homes, and even, how we define success in business.  Sustainable Connections is supporting a community of innovators in green building, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, supporting independent businesses in town centers, and mentoring a new breed of entrepreneurs that have designed their business with a sustainable vision.


A Green Commitment
In addition to providing our customers with a wide selection of Green Select products, we are also committed to taking action in our stores and communities to actively make the world a cleaner and healthier place. We feel this is an important part of being responsible citizens.

We are making a green commitment in our stores and offices by focusing on educating our employees and business partners; conserving resources and reducing waste; and encouraging recycling and green maintenance practices.

For the past three years, Carpet One Floor & Home locations throughout North America have also teamed together with their communities to clean up and beautify communities in celebration of National Green Select Day.

Our Commitment to Animal Welfare
Our love of animals has led us to support several animal friendly causes. Most recently, we donated to the Save the Tiger Fund in conjunction with our new product launch, Tigressa Softstyle. It was a natural fit for us to spread the word about the Save the Tiger Fund and do what we could to help save the animals whose majestic beauty inspired our new line. We have also partnered with animal welfare charities such as the American Human Society, the Canadian Federation for Human Societies and the Delta Society through the Muddiest Buddies campaigns which featured our worry-free Relax, It’s Lees carpet that is perfect for pet owners.
