Renewable energy represents 43% of total consumption, with 16 manufacturing sites operating on 100% renewable electricity. The company also reduced emissions through biomass energy use, avoiding 12.4 kt of CO₂e.
Tarkett's ReStart® recycling programme is now active in 29 countries, collecting 129,000 tonnes of end-of-life flooring to date. Additional initiatives include partnerships with clients such as IKEA and the expansion of reuse schemes for carpet tiles.
CEO Fabrice Barthélemy said the company is continuing to work with partners to 'lead our industry' in sustainability, while acknowledging that further progress is still required.
