Many companies are committed to innovating, but it’s the people behind the innovation process and approach that distinguish them.

“Milliken’s 150 years demonstrate what few companies can: a sustainable business advantage supported by their values and commitment to ethics and innovation."

– Ethisphere CEO Timothy Erblich

With 2016 well under way, we’re looking back at some of our favorite media moments so far this year.

Innovation is a critical component for a company’s success in today’s hyper-competitive world. But what makes a company truly innovative? Can innovation be designed and integrated into a company’s structure?

It’s safe to say that at one point or another, everyone wonders what it might be like to be in outer space, or even communicate with people who are.

According to Feeding America®, 48.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households in 2014. This equates to 14% of households around the country.

Research shared in the Harvard Business Review shows “compelling evidence that diversity unlocks innovation and drives market growth.”

At Milliken, our process of continuous innovation is fueled by a dedication to learning, a fierce sense of curiosity, and a passion for solving problems that help make the world a better place.

The New Year is full of new goals and endeavors, but it’s also a time for reflection. In 2015, Milliken made important strides across industries, received awards and continued to exercise its driving principle of innovation.

​One of Milliken's driving tenets is 'doing good' - for people, for their communities, and for the environment. For the last 150 years, Milliken has met that goal in myriad ways, whether through industry-leading sustainability practices, a tradition of charitable giving and philanthropic pursuits, or leadership and investment in local communities.
