Rochelle Routman is Chief Sustainability and Impact Officer of HMTX Industries, a resilient flooring manufacturer. She has been passionate about the environment since a young age, and brought that into her work through corporate sustainability.

She saw an opportunity to bring greater transparency into flooring products, helping to advance industry-wide disruption. Today, she is working on ESG; HMTX will release its first Impact report soon. The company’s new headquarters in Connecticut, designed by McLennan Design, is expected to earn Living Building petal certification later this year.

“I definitely feel like I am part of a movement,” Rochelle says. “I see sustainability as an activist career. Thinking about the arc of progress, I had hoped we’d be farther ahead on responding to climate change by now. But I am inspired by progress on many fronts, such as the growing understanding of biophilia.”

Rochelle was recognized with a Women in Sustainability Leadership Award in 2014 and is now President and chair of the board of that network.
