Solon, Ohio—Tarkett has released its 2022 Corporate Social & Environmental Responsibility (CSR) Report. Fully audited by an independent third party, the report outlines the company’s significant sustainability performance.
“Our sustainability performance over the past year contributes actively to Tarkett’s ambition: to be the easiest, the most innovative and the most sustainable flooring and sports surfaces company to work for and to work with,” said Fabrice Barthélemy, CEO of Tarkett. “The pursuit of ‘always more’ is threatening our planet.
