ENVIRONMENT BY GERFLOR
Faced with the climate emergency and the scarcity of raw materials, the Group’s ambition is now more than ever to reconcile sustainable growth with resolute and innovative approaches to reduce our environmental impact.
« Our products have always been a part of the everyday life of millions of people throughout the world. Whether it's at home, in healthcare facilities, in schools, at work, in public places or in transport. As we develop and manufacture our floors, walls and finishes, we always keep in mind our responsibility towards our teams, our customers and the environment. We enforce the highest standards when it comes to health and well-being.
As an industrial company in over 100 countries, we strive to maintain our growth objectives while proactively managing our environmental and social impacts. With recyclable products and high recycling rates, Gerflor has always integrated the principle of the circular economy into its industrial processes.
Today, the group is going one step further in structuring its sustainability approach around a much more global objective: to have a positive impact on our direct sphere of influence - our staff, our products, our customers and, more broadly, on society and the environment.
This ambition is reflected in our strong commitments for 2025. These are our various levers for action to address the climate crisis.
We care, we act is much more than a catchphrase. It is a vision which guides us every day towards our teams, our customers, our communities, and the planet. »
