Sustainability

Proof in Every Step

When we say our products are consciously made, we set new standards for sustainable flooring. When we talk about total transparency, we reveal our raw materials content down to 100 parts per million. When we say proof in every step, we mean true social and environmental impacts start with the numbers. We dare you to look deeper into your floors’ inspirational sustainability claims. At Tarkett, the proof will be there.

Laying the path forward

Our sustainability story is the foundation of our partners' stories. Here's how we're delivering positive impacts starting from the floor up.

Setting New Transparency Standards

Net positive impacts, closed loops, and a circular economy — to know where you can go, you have to know where you’re starting. That’s why we subject our materials to relentless scientific scrutiny and show you exactly what goes into our products. Sustainability is a collaborative effort. We provide a transparent foundation our partners can build on.

Empowering the Next Step in the Value Chain

We design our products for every step of the value chain starting from raw material selection to finished floor. Together with our partners, we’re scaling our products’ human and environmental health benefits from installation to end-of-life.
