We are thrilled to announce that Tarkett has once again received an A- rating by CDP, marking our second consecutive year. This recognition highlights our commitment to achieving a sustainable, circular economy that creates value for everyone, closing the loop on waste, preserving natural resources and reducing our impact on climate change.
Since 2016, Tarkett has been an active participant in the CDP disclosure system. Over the years, we have made significant strides, elevating our score from a modest D in 2016 to a commendable A- in both 2022 and 2023. This consistent improvement reflects our unwavering dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
The CDP rating has become increasingly recognised by our customers as a testament to our commitment and leadership in sustainability practices. Through a comprehensive benchmarking exercise with our primary competitors in the flooring and sports surfaces sectors, we take immense pride in being the sole recipient of such a prestigious rating.
Transparency and third-party verification are core attributes for today’s sustainability success and approval approach within construction. This achievement is proof of our efficient climate roadmap for 2030, already validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in 2023.
― Ross Dight, Technical & Sustainability Director at Tarkett
Looking ahead, we are determined to continue advancing our sustainability efforts because it’s no longer an important ambition, it’s an urgent imperative. Our goal is to achieve an exemplary A rating by the year 2025. This ambitious target underscores our relentless pursuit of excellence and our unwavering commitment to driving positive change for our planet and future generations.
