ISO 14001 and 9001
Mannington's Environmental Management Systems (EMS) was originally third party certified to ISO 14001 in:
2004 - Commercial Inlaid sheet operations located in New Jersey
2005 - Carpet operation in Georgia
2009 - Commercial and Residential Cushion sheet operations in New Jersey
2012 - LVT operations in Georgia
2020 - Rigid Core and Rubber operations in Georgia
Our Quality Management System (QMS) has been third party certified to ISO 9001 in our New Jersey Inlaid sheet operation since 2004 and in our Georgia LVT operations since 2012. Each facility has successfully completed all annual recertification and surveillance audits. The result is a highly organized and structured approach that ensures the efficient, effective management and continual improvement of our environmental and quality systems.
As required by the ISO standards, our third party registrar annually conducts a rigorous system verification audit. Each of our certified locations completed their audits in 2022.
Examples of the most recent findings from the third party registrar, NSF, are:
Carpet/Rigid Core/Rubber, Calhoun, GA – 2022 Zero Deficiencies for ISO 14001.
Inlaid, Salem, NJ – 2022 Zero deficiencies for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.

In our ISO 14001 EMS, we evaluate the significant environmental aspects and impacts of our activities, products, and services at least annually and establish specific objectives and targets for continual improvement.
