PID Floors was honored to be a venue partner for “From Commitments to Credibility: The Role of Certification & Verification in Sustainability.” This incredible Climate Week NYC 2026 panel discussion and networking event, organized by Preferred by Nature, gathered leaders from across certification, standards, and sustainability at our flagship showroom in New York City.
This Climate Week NYC 2026 event brought together leading voices from the forestry, agriculture, carbon, and corporate sustainability sectors to explore a question increasingly central to the world of design: what does responsible sourcing look like when the standards themselves are evolving? While navigating more ambitious climate and biodiversity goals, emerging regulation, and more discerning expectations from customers, investors, and regulators, the evening’s comprehensive panel discussion examined how certification and independent assurance can bring greater transparency to the materials and systems behind the things we make.
Speakers Included:
Cameron Plese: RSPO, Head of North America and Head of Government Affairs
Christa Anderson: RFA, Senior Director of Climate
Julianne (Julie) Baroody: Verra, Senior Director Certification
Marcel Fukayama: B Lab, Chief Impact & Movement Officer
Sarah Billig: FSC US, President
Preferred by Nature is a global non-profit organization working to drive sustainable impact for people, nature and climate.
We created our flagship showroom to become a design hub of inspiration for all and we love having important conversations about climate and sustainability here—topics about which PID Floors is deeply passionate.
Thank you for such an incredible evening, Preferred by Nature!
