Sustainability at Work: Inside AHF’s 2025 Sustainability Report

AHF Products has released its first-ever Sustainability Report—an important milestone that brings together progress and purpose across the company’s family of flooring and surfacing brands, including Crossville®.

The report highlights how AHF is advancing responsible manufacturing and measurable climate action through four key pillars: Circular Economy, Climate & Ecosystem Health, Human Health, and Social Health & Well-Being. Together, these guide the company’s long-term vision for transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
October 29, 2025

Made in the USA, Made Responsibly

At AHF Products, sustainability starts at home. With 10 domestic manufacturing facilities across the country, AHF is one of the few North American flooring manufacturers producing most of its porcelain, hardwood, and VCT products in the United States.

By sourcing from renewable and abundant local materials, AHF reduces transportation-related emissions, supports domestic jobs, and ensures a high degree of product transparency and quality control. The result: durable floors designed to last for generations—a smart, sustainable choice for both consumers and designers that helps reduce landfill waste and supports long-term resource conservation.

“U.S.-based manufacturing gives us a unique ability to respond quickly to customer needs, control material sourcing, and ensure consistency in quality and sustainability,” says Brent Emore, CEO of AHF Products. “Producing locally, from renewable or abundant resources… is a smart, sustainable choice for consumers and designers. It’s common sense that producing materials that last for generations is good for everyone.”

2025 Sustainability Milestones

Aligned with SASB frameworks and covering fiscal year 2024–2025, the report highlights measurable progress, including:

  • First Carbon Neutral Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for porcelain (Crossville®)
  • Expanded sustainability documentation for all commercial wood, resilient, and porcelain products
  • Expansion of the densified hardwood product line
  • Continued investment in energy-efficient infrastructure and material circularity

Looking Ahead

“Our work at AHF is guided by a clear understanding that the choices we make today shape the world we build tomorrow,” said Noah Chitty, VP of Sustainability and Technical Services at AHF. “From investing in energy-efficient infrastructure to expanding disclosure programs and incorporating recycled materials into our products, we’re focused on making sustainability real—measurable, transparent, and part of every surface we manufacture.”

As Chitty notes, sustainability reporting is an ongoing journey—one that reflects AHF’s commitment to continuous progress, innovation, and collaboration across all brands.

The 2025 AHF Sustainability Report sets the foundation for continued progress across all AHF brands, showing how U.S. manufacturing, circular design, and long-lasting materials come together for a more sustainable future.
