Our purpose is to make a positive difference in the spaces where we live, work, learn, heal and play. As a leader in the building products industry, we aim to lead a transformation in the design and building of spaces so that occupants, owners, operators and communities can thrive.
"As we publish our fourth sustainability report, I am reminded of the profound responsibility and opportunity we have to shape a future where both people and planet can thrive. The past year has underscored the urgency of our mission to transform the design and building of spaces into sustainable environments that benefit occupants, owners, operators and communities at large."
- Vic Grizzle, CEO, Armstrong World Industries
