The 16th Sustainability Report of Mohawk Industries, which brings together results and best practices from all Group companies, highlights Marazzi Group’s concrete achievements in innovation, training, and international recognition.
Mohawk Industries, a global leader in the flooring sector with a presence in around 180 countries, has published its 16th Sustainability Report. The Group exceeded its reduction target for Scope 1, 2 and biogenic emissions and recorded a 117% increase in renewable energy consumption, with a 53% growth in solar energy production. At the same time, global water withdrawal intensity improved thanks to the reuse and elimination of large volumes of wastewater in production processes, particularly in ceramic tile operations worldwide.
These results have further strengthened the Group’s positioning, which has been recognized as Climate Leader America and Eco Leader.
As part of this journey, Marazzi Group, a subsidiary of Mohawk Industries and an international leader in ceramic and porcelain tile design and production, reinforced its contribution through initiatives focused on people, processes, and sustainable product innovation.

These initiatives contributed to the company being certified as a Top Employer for the ninth consecutive year and as a Best Employer for the third time. - Product innovation
