Tarkett Achieves Sustainability Milestone with Third Platinum Rating from EcoVadis
Tarkett, a global frontrunner in innovative and sustainable flooring solutions, has recently made headlines by receiving its third consecutive Platinum Medal from EcoVadis. This recognition places Tarkett among the elite 1% of over 150,000 companies assessed globally across 180 countries, highlighting its exceptional commitment to sustainability. With an impressive score of 88 out of 100 in 2026, Tarkett is not just a leader in flooring products but also a trailblazer in eco-friendly practices.
Jay Henry, the senior director of innovation and sustainability for Tarkett North America, emphasized that this achievement reflects the dedicated efforts of their global teams. 'Earning Platinum for the third consecutive year is a testament to the hard work happening across our global teams every day—not just in how we design and manufacture our floors, but in how we think about our impact at every step,' he stated. This accomplishment is a clear indication of Tarkett's sustained dedication to raising the bar for sustainability in its industry, with ambitious goals for the future.
Notably, Tarkett remains the only multi-product company in the flooring and sports surfaces sector to achieve such a prestigious Platinum EcoVadis rating. The company is committed to advancing its sustainability strategy through various initiatives, including eco-design, increased utilization of recycled materials, and the enhancement of its ReStart® take-back and recycling program.
Tarkett is also focused on sustainable purchasing and continuous team development to ensure that its operations minimize environmental impact. In line with its climate goals approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2023, Tarkett aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 30% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. Furthermore, by the same year, Tarkett has set an ambitious target of increasing recycled content in its products to 30%, up from just 10% in 2018.
Earlier this year, Tarkett achieved a remarkable CDP Climate A score for the second consecutive year, positioning the company amongst the top 4% of 20,000 evaluated companies for climate performance. This recognition underscores Tarkett's commitment to not only meeting but exceeding sustainability benchmarks.
Tarkett’s dedication to sustainable practices is reinforced by its 140-year history of innovation in flooring solutions. Generating net sales of 3.3 billion euros in 2025 and employing around 12,000 individuals, Tarkett operates 25 research and development centers, 11 recycling centers, and 33 production sites worldwide. The company serves a diverse clientele across various sectors including healthcare, education, hospitality, and sports facilities in more than 100 countries.
