2025 Sustainability Statement: Tarkett delivers concrete climate progress, cutting value-chain emissions by 27% in line with its 2030 goals

PARIS, FRANCE, April 1^st 2026– Tarkett, a world leader in innovative and sustainable flooring and sports surface solutions, released today its 2025 Sustainability Statement, audited by independent third parties and published in full compliance with the EU CSRD(Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) legislation.

“The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly visible, and seven of the nine planetary boundaries have been crossed,” said Fabrice Barthélemy, CEO of Tarkett.“The urgency to act is clear.Over the past six years, we have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain by 27% and doubled the average proportion of recycled materials used in our products, rising from 10% in 2018 to 20% in 2025. This is not enough. We are actively working with our clients and suppliers to lead our industry in pursuing this journey.”

During the past year, Tarkett made major progress on its sustainability roadmap:

• 160,000 tons of recycled materials were used in our products in 2025, representing 20% of our raw materials. The goal is to reach 30% of recycled materials in our products by 2030.
• 43% of the company’senergy consumption comes from renewable sources, and 16 plants purchase 100% renewable electricity.
• By using wood dust as biomassfor energy production at six of itsplants, Tarkettavoids 12.4 kt CO₂e—equivalent to removing 6,500 passenger cars from the road for a full year.
• Take-back and recycling program ReStart® is now deployed in 29 countries across five continents. Over the past 16 years, 129,000 tons of end-of-life flooring—the equivalent of 12 Eiffel towers—has been collected across eight flooring recycling centers.
• 86,000 m² of end of-life vinyl flooring has been recovered from IKEA stores in 14 European countries in the last six years. This material has been transformed into new flooring at Tarkett’s vinyl recycling center in Ronneby, Sweden, avoiding a total of 1,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
• The company has developed a reuse offer, allowing customers in several European countries to buy or resell second-hand carpet tiles in good condition. In 2025, 9,000 m² of old carpets were collected during an office renovation in Parisregion, including 2,000 m² that were sent for recycling and 7,000 m² that were send for re-use and reselling to other customers. At a police office in Sweden, 4,000 m² of carpet were installed, including 2,000 m² reused carpet tiles.
• Tarkett Sports’ infill regeneration facilities based in Pennsylvania and Oregon (USA) have collected and recovered 14,100 tons of infill for reuse in new projects in 2025, a growth of 21% versus 2024.
• Committed to diversity and inclusion, the share of women in management positions reached 29%, progressing toward the global goal of 33% by 2030.
