Accelerating towards 2030

In 2025 we revisited our CSR roadmap, setting new ambitious and quantified goals. We have defined 10 key objectives that reflect our commitment to climate action, resource efficiency, circularity, user health and wellbeing and a safe, stimulating work environment for our employees.

A significant step forward is the inclusion of Scope 3 emissions in our greenhouse gas targets. Our climate ambition is now aligned with the Paris Agreement trajectory and has been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

we care: our CSR pillars

we care for climate

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions by 30% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels.

we care for resources

We strive to preserve our natural ecosystems. To minimise our impact, we are increasing the use of recycled and natural materials in our products.

we care for circularity

We believe it is urgent to close the loop and rethink usage to limit waste. Our floors and walls are designed to support the transition to a circular economy - easy to remove, reuse and recycle.

we care for your health and well-being

Our priority is to create spaces where you feel safe and comfortable to live, work and breathe. Our floors are trusted for their hygiene and contribution to indoor air quality - ensuring healthier environments for all.

we care for people

Where our floors come to life, our people come first. We are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive workplace where every talent is valued and given the opportunity to grow and thrive.

ResiLoop – Founding Member

ResiLoop is a pioneering initiative that aims to reduce the environmental impact of resilient flooring in Australia, which accounts for about 60,000 tonnes of landfill waste every year, including 9,000 tonnes of unused material. ResiLoop is part of the industry's transition to a circular economy, by addressing the waste problem at the source: the installation process. ResiLoop has been collaborating with stakeholders across the resilient flooring value chain, conducting research, business modelling and field trials to explore different recycling and reverse logistics solutions for both residential and commercial sectors. The outcome of this work is a national scheme that showcases a strong product stewardship approach in Australia.
