A story of business transformation of the century
The transformation of global carpet company Interface, portrayed in Nathan Heavy’s film Beyond Zero, is one of the most inspiring case studies in modern business history. It began in 1994, when the company began to realize the environmental damage it was causing, and the journey that made it one of the most sustainable companies on Earth.
Ray Anderson and his team, along with the help of author, entrepreneur and environmentalist Paul Hawken, embarked on a mission to eliminate all negative environmental impacts, with the goal expected to be achieved by 2020.

The film is also enjoying great interest among the academic community – the business schools of Harvard, Yale, The Tecnologico De Monterrey and others have received special permission to include the film in their curricula.
