Environmental Responsibility

Green is not a color.

At nora®, we are committed to improving the indoor environment of buildings by producing durable, low-emitting rubber floor coverings that also minimize our ecological and environmental operational footprint. While promoting corporate environmental stewardship, nora supports industry standards of environmental responsibility and is able to provide you with long-lasting, sustainable flooring solutions. Excellent indoor air quality and an extended life cycle are just a few of the many ways nora helps you create a sustainable design that is in harmony with nature. Our sustainable accessories and maintenance practices also contribute to nora’s environmentally-friendly approach. After all, green is not a color — it’s an attitude, commitment, and a priority.

Reducing our carbon footprint, as individuals and collectively as a company, is an ongoing commitment at nora. Our company’s sustainable operational practices include recycling programs that encompass paper, bottles, computers and office equipment as well as the use of recycled shipping materials and office furniture, the deployment of a cooling water circuit and the use of secondary raw materials. Lighting motion sensors, low mercury compact fluorescent lights and programmable thermostats contribute to energy conservation. Even our coffee and tea is fair trade.
