SOLON, Ohio, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tarkett, a world leader in innovative and sustainable flooring and sports surface solutions, has achieved an A Score at CDP climate rating for the second year in a row.

This rating places Tarkett among the top performing companies out of 20,000 globally assessed, highlighting the company's climate leadership. Reaching an A score shows that Tarkett has successfully implemented best practices in climate management across its operations and entire value chain.

"CDP's A List validates the strength of our climate roadmap and governance, as well as the growing expertise of our teams," said Arnaud Marquis, Tarkett's chief sustainability & safety officer. "The planet's resources are finite—this is an undeniable fact. For years, our teams have shown that the demand to use less is not a limitation, but an inspiration and a catalyst for doing better. We remain focused on reducing emissions and aligning our business models with the planet's limited resources, helping our customers lower their own carbon footprints."

CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world's leading independent environmental disclosure system. These last two years, CDP assessment strongly evolved to align with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), further increasing the rigor required to achieve an "A" rating.

Tarkett's climate targets, approved by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2023, set a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across the entire value chain by 2030, versus 2019. The company also continues to advance its sustainability strategy through eco-design, increased use of recycled materials, sustainable purchasing and continuous team development.

Since 2023, Tarkett has earned EcoVadis' Platinum Medal for two consecutive years, setting a benchmark in the flooring and sports surfaces industry.
