At Armstrong, contributing to our communities has been valued for more than 150 years. We believe we have a special responsibility and role to play in helping our communities thrive. We balance business goals with our commitment to community. Our philanthropy and volunteerism focus on education, disaster relief, building better communities, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. We want every community where our employees live and work to be a better place because we are there.
Our sustainability efforts have expanded beyond the corporate stewardship initiatives to decrease energy and resource use, as well as resource conservation. We have successfully developed products and programs to support the sustainability initiatives of our customers.
As an example, consider Armstrong’s MIGRATIONS® BioBased Tile® (BBT®). It was developed to provide the look and durability of VCT, yet its essential polymer ingredient, BioStride®, is made with a domestically grown, rapidly renewable plant source. So BBT reduces reliance on petroleum and fossil fuels while it expands the affordability of green to commercial projects.

The world has clearly changed. We choose to see these issues as an opportunity rather than a problem. In fact, we’ve redesigned our company to provide our customers with customized flooring solutions that help them meet their business objectives. We strive to help our customers redefine their interior environments so they become investments in human capital, rather than simply operating expenses. As the leader in specialty flooring industry, we’re showing clients how integrating design with life-safety can enhance employee productivity and help companies attract, motivate and retain the best talent.
This integrated approach to interior space may not be what you expect from a flooring company. But we’re used to doing things differently. Innovation is in our company’s DNA and has been for over 100 years. In 1920 our predecessor company, in an effort to address our customers’ concerns, developed the first integrated steel pail with rubber gaskets. This new pail, which replaced the wooden pail, provided environmental benefits by reducing the need for timber and preventing leakage of toxic materials in the coatings industry. Responding to customers has always been at the core of our business, a century ago and today.
Our mission is to integrate design and life-safety into flooring and stairwell solutions to create more productive, safer spaces that are aesthetically pleasing and add to our customers’ economic success.
