Our floors help make schools, hospitals, offices, houses and sports facilities safer, more sustainable and better adapted for the people living and using them. They are designed to keep waste out of landfills, reduce the consumption of water, detergents and pesticides, and add to the performance and well-being of people in their working or living and leisure environments.
 
We believe that being sustainable, as an individual or a corporation, is an everyday practice not just an idea. We come to work everyday to build a better floor - that helps our customers balance the impact on the earth, their people and their budgets. Sustainable floors that help us all live in balance.
 
Our approach to sustainability is called Balanced Choice and is integrated into our product offering. Every person, project and environment is different and requires different choices. With solutions across many different flooring types, Tarkett can advise our customers on the floors that work best for a given project, for a given environment and for a given budget, without conflicting interests.
 
Tarkett has been a leader in environmentally responsible manufacturing and the development of sustainable products for decades.

We’ve done this by doing four things: using better materials, consuming fewer resources, creating people-friendly spaces and reclaiming products at the end of their lives.
 
To find out how we’ve put this in practice over the past 50 years and the sustainability aspects of our different flooring solutions (vinyl, rubber, linoleum, laminate, wood, artificial turf) – read our sustainability brochure
 
We want to continuously improve our balanced choice. To do this Tarkett is committed to:

• Report our progress every year
• Accelerate the introduction of innovative raw materials
• Optimize our consumption of resources
• Make floors that are more and more people friendly
• Extend our recycling leadership
