DALTON, Ga., Nov. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Shaw Industries Group, Inc. (Shaw), announces that Vice President of Global Sustainability Candi Hampton will serve as a Commissioner on the newly launched Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air, an initiative led by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) to elevate indoor air as a critical public health priority and drive coordinated global action and solutions.

Announced at the United Nations during Climate Week, the Commission brings together more than 170 global leaders from over 30 countries, including a former U.S. Surgeon General, global health authorities, senior scientists and researchers from leading universities as well as executives and sustainability leaders across design, real estate, technology and manufacturing.

As a Commissioner, Hampton will join colleagues from around the world in developing a Global Framework for Action and catalyzing the creation of national Blueprints to strengthen indoor air quality efforts across regions.

"Serving on the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air is both a professional honor and a personal commitment," shared Hampton. "At Shaw, we've long recognized the importance of indoor air quality, and I'm excited to collaborate with this distinguished group of global leaders to advance actionable solutions that prioritize people and the planet. This work directly aligns with Shaw's work to create a better future and our belief that the spaces where we live, work, play, learn and come together should support human health & wellbeing."

"We're thrilled to have the expertise of Candi on the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air," said IWBI President and CEO Rachel Hodgdon. "She joins an acclaimed cohort that will, in the coming months and year, chart a global framework and co-develop national blueprints that offer strategies for action along with the sustained drumbeat of attention and awareness necessary to elevate this issue worldwide."

"It's an incredible opportunity to bring such an esteemed group of professionals together for an urgent cause," added Dr. Richard Carmona, 17th Surgeon General of the United States and Co-Chair of the Commission on Healthy Indoor Air. "We've set forth an important agenda, and I look forward to Candi's contributions."

The Commission will:

• Elevate a global call to action that places healthy indoor air at the forefront of public health and policy priorities
• Build global awareness by highlighting the urgent human and economic costs of unhealthy indoor air
• Establish a Global Framework for Action with clear prescriptions across key pillars of market transformation
• Catalyze country-specific National Blueprints in collaboration with local stakeholders
• Spur multi-sector investment to scale affordable, effective and equitable solutions

The Commission's Global Framework for Action will be released by the end of 2026, alongside national Blueprints published on a rolling basis.
