Tarkett has once again been awarded the EcoVadis Platinum Medal, the highest sustainability recognition granted by the world's leading business sustainability ratings platform. For the third consecutive year, Tarkett ranks among the top 1% of companies worldwide for responsible and sustainable business practices.
In this year's assessment, more than 150,000 companies across over 180 countries were evaluated, with Tarkett achieving a score of 88 out of 100. This recognition confirms that sustainability is not just part of our strategy, but a guiding principle embedded in every aspect of our business, from product development and manufacturing to sales and corporate management.
Tarkett remains the only company with a broad portfolio of flooring and sports flooring solutions to hold the EcoVadis Platinum Medal. In addition, for the fourth consecutive year, the company has been included in the Financial Times & Statista Europe's Climate Leaders ranking as the only representative of its industry.

Our climate goals are clear: by 2030, we aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 30% compared to 2019 levels. These targets were validated in 2023 by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
To achieve this, we continue to:
- develop eco-designed products from start to finish
- increase the share of recycled materials in our products
- expand the ReStart® program, through which we collect and recycle used flooring
- work with responsible suppliers and sustainable sourcing practices
- invest in the development and education of our employees
One of our key goals is to increase the recycled content in our products to 30% by 2030, up from just 10% in 2018.
Earlier this year, we achieved another important milestone by earning the CDP Climate A score for the second consecutive year, placing Tarkett among the top 4% of companies worldwide for climate action leadership.
