Founder and Chairman Ray Anderson Speaks on the Interface Journey and Sustainability
The story is now legend — the “spear in the chest” epiphany Interface founder and Chairman
Ray Anderson experienced when he first read
Paul Hawken's, “The Ecology of Commerce” while seeking inspiration for a speech to an Interface task force on the company’s environmental vision. Fourteen years and a sea change later, Ray is a sought-after international speaker who gives nearly 100 talks each year to audiences hungry for a message about the company that is proving the business model for sustainability works.

As 2010 begins, Ray will be busying traveling on his book tour for
Confessions of A Radical Industrialist, published this past September in the US and Canada, and launching this year in Europe and Australia. Mid-January will find Ray on the West Coast, keynoting the
6th Annual Clean Tech Investor Summit in Palm Springs. The schedule in February includes a keynote at Randolph College in Lynchburg, Va on February 1.
In late February, Ray will head to London for a week to participate in the launch of Confessions by
Random House in the UK. Click
