LANCASTER, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Armstrong World Industries, Inc., a leader in the design and manufacture of innovative interior and exterior architectural applications including ceilings, specialty walls and exterior metal solutions, has been named one of America’s Greenest Companies by Newsweek for the second year in a row.

President and Chief Executive Officer Vic Grizzle said, “Being named one of America’s Greenest Companies for 2026 reinforces the impact of the work we are doing across our business. Sustainability is fundamental to how we innovate and operate. This year, we’re building on our commitment through products like Templok® Energy Saving Ceilings and Ultima® Low Embodied Carbon panels, which help reduce operational and material-related carbon in buildings. We know there is still progress to make, and we are focused on driving meaningful change that benefits the environment, our customers and the communities where we live and work.”

In alignment with its commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility, Armstrong World Industries’ 2025 Sustainability Report highlights key initiatives and progress around the company’s core sustainability pillars: Healthy and Circular Products, Healthy Planet and Thriving People and Communities. Key areas of focus include reducing the use of chemicals of concern in materials; launching the Ultima® Low Embodied Carbon (LEC) ceiling panels, which reduce material-related carbon emissions by 43% compared with standard Armstrong Ultima® ceiling panels; and further expanding the Templok® Energy Saving Ceilings portfolio, providing more options for customers to reduce energy costs and operational carbon in buildings.

The ranking was determined through a comprehensive analysis of data from both public and private companies operating in the U.S. To ensure the highest standards, only companies that meet the European Union's stringent sustainability criteria—considered the most advanced globally—were eligible.
