OUR APPROACH
Conscious choices. For people and planet.
Tarkett Human-Conscious Design™ is our pledge to stand with present and future generations. To create flooring and sports surfaces that are good for people and the planet. And to do it every day; in line with our three commitments:
- Deep human understanding: we continuously engage with our customers to ensure that we respond to their specific needs and expectations.
- Conscious choices. For people and planet: when it comes to people and the planet,we don’t consider one without thinking of the other.
- With you. Every step of the way: quality, trust and dependability define our approach.
Our approach to sustainability is woven into the fabric of how we do business. When it comes to people and the planet, we don’t consider one without thinking of the other. We commit every day to the design of great spaces. For us, this means exceeding indoor air quality standards, instituting healthy material norms, reducing our carbon footprint and creating a Circular Economy supported by Cradle to Cradle® principles. Doing better, for people and planet.
To us, it’s not a bolt on, or something to ‘bear in mind’, it sits at the very heart of our day-to-day decision making. We have three main areas of focus:
- A commitment to creating a circular economy and tackle climate change. Closing the loop on waste, preserving our planet’s natural resources and reducing the impact on climate change.
- A commitment to only using good materials. Subjecting ourselves to relentless scientific scrutiny and offering radical transparency about our products.
- A commitment to your health and wellbeing. Creating healthier indoor spaces with the highest standards of Indoor Air Quality.
Our dedication to sustainability has seen us trailblaze higher standards across our industry; and collaborate with forward-thinking partners to implement innovative schemes and production techniques. We do this because it matters to us and because we know it matters to you, our customers.
We know that when you choose a flooring solution, health and sustainability are at the forefront of your mind. It’s why we don’t just offer you beautiful, high-quality flooring, we offer you peace of mind.
Making conscious choices. For people and planet.

CLIMATE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
We love rubbish. We remake it into beautiful floors. Endlessly.
When others see rubbish, we see opportunity. It’s why we work with our customers to take back and recycle flooring through our ReStart® programme. It’s why we investigate innovative solutions with other industries to turn their rubbish into valuable, reuseable materials. And it’s why we’re working to maximise the recycled content in all our products and prioritise end-of-life recycling. Preserving natural resources, reducing waste and our carbon footprint, and giving you peace of mind on your product choice.
Value your jobsite waste!
The ReStart® programme is available for our Omnisports and Linosport ranges.
- Optimises jobsite waste management.
- Guarantees traceability of collected off-cuts.
- Integrates sustainable development and anticipate European regulation requirements.
GOOD MATERIALS
Don’t just believe what we say. Believe what we prove.
Claiming to use ‘good materials’ is one thing. Proving you do is another.
Tarkett Sports is committed to an environmental strategy based in particular on qualitative components choice to design its products, users’ health and well-being, as well as materials reuse:
- Omnisports and Linosport ranges are endlessly recyclable.
- Omnisports products are phthalate free: they are designed with phthalate-free plasticizers that are approved for use in young children’s toys and food packaging.
- Omnisports products are biocide free: antimicrobial treatments have been removed to preserve human health and the environment.

Complete transparency from us, peace of mind for you.
HEALTH AND WELLBEING
We don’t meet Indoor Air Quality standards. We raise them.
When we say we’re committed to giving you healthier sports spaces, that’s not just talk, we mean it. In fact, by capturing fine dust and driving down VOC emissions, our products exceed the strictest industry standards for air quality by far (10 to 100 times lower) .

It means you can breathe clearer air, knowing you made a conscious choice for your flooring.
