Mohawk is one of the top 25 largest purchasers of wind-generated electricity RECs among manufacturing companies in the U.S. The company matches 100% of the electric power required for all of its operations in New York and Ohio with Green-e certified RECs.

In March of 2007, Mohawk joined the U.S. EPA Climate Leaders program to further develop greenhouse gas reduction goals. As an extension of our voluntary commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to support renewable electric power, Mohawk began to offer products that are made carbon neutral. A growing number of Mohawk's products are made carbon neutral within our production processes; we match our usage of purchased electricity with RECs certified by Green–e.

Carbon neutral is an international trend that can describe products, operations and activities, which have had their emissions calculated and reduced where possible. The remaining carbon dioxide emissions are then "offset" through credits that fund renewable, emission–free energy projects such as wind farms and solar installations. These offsets are third-party verified to meet the standards of one or more of the following: Gold Standard, Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS), the California Climate Action Registry (CCAR).

As a partner in the EPA Climate Leaders program, Mohawk has completed an "emission inventory." The results of this rigorous process have provided the basis for further emission reductions and carbon offsets. Mohawk purchases VERs which support renewable energy projects. These offsets are third–party verified to meet the standards of the Environmental Resources Trust’s GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Registry.

The following Mohawk grades are made carbon neutral within our production processes:
