SOLON, Ohio, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tarkett, a world leader in innovative and sustainable flooring and sports surface solutions, has been recognized for its sustainability leadership by achieving a Platinum Medal by EcoVadis for the third consecutive year. With a score of 88/100 in 2026, Tarkett ranks among the top 1% of more than 150,000 companies assessed worldwide across 180 countries.
“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,” said Jay Henry, senior director of innovation and sustainability for Tarkett North America. “Three consecutive Platinum ratings reflect a sustained commitment to raising the bar, with plenty more progress to come.”
Tarkett remains the only multi-product company in the flooring and sports surfaces industry to achieve a Platinum EcoVadis rating.
The company continues to advance its sustainability strategy through eco-design, increased use of recycled materials, the ramp-up of the ReStart® take-back and recycling program, sustainable purchasing and continuous team development. Tarkett’s climate targets, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2023, aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 30% by 2030, compared to 2019. Also by 2030, Tarkett has set its own target to reach 30% recycled content in its products, up from 10% in 2018.
Earlier this year, Tarkett also achieved a CDP Climate A score for the second consecutive year, placing it among the world’s leading companies for climate performance (top 4% out of 20,000 evaluated companies).
