Tarkett unveils industry-first sustainability statement in line with new EU legislation
April 1, 2025
Tarkett has released today its 2024 Sustainability Statement, fully audited by independent third parties. Tarkett is the first global company in its sector to meet new EU CSRD legislation (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive).
Our major sustainability achievements during last year are: :
- –23% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across our whole value chain – scope 1, 2, 3 – in the last five years.
- 157,000 tons of recycled materials used in production in 2024, representing 19% of raw materials. The goal is to reach 30% recycled content in products by 2030.
- 124, 000 tons of end-of-life flooring (the equivalent of 12 Eiffel Towers) collected in last 14 years through take-back and recycling program ReStart® which is now deployed in 29 countries across 5 continents.
The European CSRD legislation is a major step forward in paving the way for greater corporate social and environmental responsibility. This establishes a common sustainability framework for all companies. For Tarkett, it has been an accelerator to help us identify our most material issues. By using relevant methodologies to reduce our impact and assess the risks, we accelerated our progress on ESG.
Fabrice Barthélemy, CEO Tarkett
