Tarkett earns top score for climate rating

Tarkett, a leading flooring brand, has earned a 2026 "A" score from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). This is the second year the company has been on the A list, making it one of the highest-performing companies out of a total of 20,000 assessed by the scheme.

The "A" rating means that Tarkett is recognised as having the best environmentally friendly practices across its whole operations. CDP recently increased its assessment standards in line with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which makes it more difficult for an organisation to achieve an "A" rating.

Arnaud Marquis, Tarkett’s chief sustainability and safety officer, said that Tarkett recognises that the planet’s resources are finite. Tarkett focuses on using fewer resources and less carbon emissions. They help their customers reduce their carbon footprint.

The Science Based Targets initiative in 2023 approved Tarkett’s climate goal to reduce by 30% its emissions off greenhouse gas across the company by 2030 compared to a 2019 baseline. Tarkett has also achieved a Platinum Medal from EcoVadis for its sustainable policies.

The company has increased its recycled material use in its flooring products and is committed to using renewable energy. For instance, its HE Tapiflex ranges contain from 21% to 30% of recycled materials. Flooring products are developed by the company using eco-design principles that minimise environmental impact. Tarkett’s take-back program collects and recycles old flooring.
