Tarkett Launches Pioneering Sustainability Statement

Tarkett, a leader in flooring and sports surface solutions, has launched its 2024 Sustainability Statement, aligning with the new EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Tarkett is the first in its industry to meet these requirements, marking a significant step in corporate environmental responsibility.

CEO Fabrice Barthélemy highlighted that the new European legislation facilitated the company's identification of key environmental issues. Tarkett has already reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 23% over the past five years as part of its 2030 climate roadmap. This plan was approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and Tarkett was recognized in Europe’s Climate Leaders Ranking.

In 2024, 157,000 tons of recycled materials were used in Tarkett's production, and the company aims to increase this to 30% by 2030. The ReStart® program collected 124,000 tons of end-of-life flooring over 14 years, supporting circular economy practices.
