It’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week! Shaw drivers are a vital link in our global supply chain who deliver raw materials to plants and finished products to customers, often building close relationships with our retail partners. This week and every week, we are proud of and thankful for Shaw drivers for their essential role in our success.

Did you know it's #NationalVolunteerWeek? At Shaw, we are united by our collective desire to create a better future for the communities where we live and work. For us, a vital part of that is volunteerism, and one of our key partners is United Way. We're excited to launch our annual volunteer drive, Spring Into Service, which starts during #NationalVolunteerMonth and runs through June. Last year, Shaw associates painted, packed, sorted, landscaped, and installed clocking over 3,000 service hours with United Way agencies!

Neighbors helping neighbors. That’s who we are. That’s what we do. Shaw associates volunteered with The GreenHouse Child Advocacy & Sexual Assault Center for United Way of Northwest Georgia’s annual Make A Difference Day to update a new satellite location in Chatsworth, Ga. This facility will provide services — close to home — for clients in Murray County.

This past weekend, Shaw Floors partied at PetCon with a bunch of new fur-iends! Attendees were able to see our leading innovations in action as hundreds of pets– dogs, cats, bunnies, goats, guinea pigs and even a duck– walked, played, ate and left a few accidents on Pet Perfect products. Check out all the cuteness and our Pet Perfect collection 🤩🤩
For the past 11 years, Shaw has proudly donated all the flooring used in the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Dream Home Giveaway, a program that builds over 40 homes across the country and raises $57 million annually.
St. Jude celebrates the home builds with a floor signing ceremony. Pictured here are COREtec Floors territory managers, J.R. Rodkey and Josh Tomsheck, who participated in the floor signing of this St. Jude home in Cleveland, Ohio.
We’re honored to partner with St. Jude, and we’re thankful that associates from all our brands get the opportunity to participate in this special program.
Shaw associates have been giving back to communities across the country during the United Way Spring Into Service campaign. Since the campaign launched in April, associates have mentored students, cleaned roadsides, improved youth and community spaces, packed food boxes for those in need, built gardens and sorted donations. Healthy communities are key to our vision of creating a better future, and we are proud of our associates' passion for strengthening their communities.
Shaw Company Store
Working with Shaw comes with a lot of perks– including incredible discounts on our award-winning products! The newly remodeled Shaw Company Store mimics a real flooring retailer’s showroom and allows associates to explore our products the same way our customers do. What’s more– our residential sales training program participants use the store to train and practice. Associates are encouraged to check out the space and learn more about our innovative products and solutions.
At Shaw, we strive to create a second life for materials that would otherwise be discarded as waste – whether that’s our own products or the use of another industry’s waste. One example: plastic drinking bottles. The use of this recycled content in our products not only diverts materials from the landfill but helps reduce their carbon footprint. Our Friday Five showcases a few of our efforts to turn waste into a resource.
At Shaw, we’re committed to designing products focused on the health & wellbeing of the planet and its people. Our efforts to #sustain[HUMAN]ability are guided by Cradle to Cradle design principles: material health, clean air and climate protection, product circularity, water and soil stewardship, and social fairness.
Check out today’s Friday Five to learn more about our goals and achievements.
To celebrate the recent release of our annual corporate sustainability report, each Friday in May, we’re sharing 5 fast facts about Shaw’s efforts to sustain[HUMAN]ability®. We’re kicking things off with our focus on people at the heart of our sustainability efforts.
That begins with our associates and continues throughout our value chain including the communities where we operate, throughout our supply chain, and with our customers.
