What do you call a carpet that actually helps stop global warming?

All of our products are climate neutral. How?

We conduct life cycle assessments (LCAs) for our products to determine and measure the CO2 impacts the products and processes have on the climate. Then, we invest in third party verified carbon credits to neutralize the CO2 emissions. The net result is ZERO greenhouse gas emissions…and climate neutral peace of mind.

LEED™ Innovation Credit

The USGBC now awards a LEED innovation point when climate neutral products comprise 5% of the total project materials, by cost. In order for climate neutral products to contribute to this point, climate neutrality must be a standard attribute of the product. We haven't just created a few climate neutral products to meet this requirement. Cool Carpet is standard on ALL of our products at no additional cost to the customer.

LEED also requires third party verification for manufacturers’ climate neutral product programs to ensure sound scientific and accounting principles. We’re there too. Transparency in reporting has always been a key tenet of our Mission Zero promise. Our Cool Carpet program is indeed third party verified.


Carbon Offsets Done Right

A company should first reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to an absolute minimum before seeking to offset the rest with carbon credits. Bentley Prince Street has always managed its Cool Carpet program with these principles in mind.

Since 1996, Bentley Prince Street has reduced its net greenhouse gas emissions per unit of product by 51% through improved efficiencies, dematerialization of products and purchases of certified renewable energy credits.
