Tarkett Joins Coalition of Businesses Calling for Action on Climate Change

Paris, FR, November 24, 2015—Tarkett joins a coalition of global businesses calling for concrete action on climate change, ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties 21 (COP211) to be held in Paris from November 30 to December 11.

This new coalition, comprised of 78 CEOs from global companies operating in more than 150 countries and territories and with a combined revenue of $2.13 trillion, believes that the private sector has a responsibility to actively engage in global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The Open Message, facilitated by the World Economic Forum, extends an offer to national governments to meet and co-design tangible actions as well as set appropriate and effective targets.

The global CEOs agree on the need to take voluntary action to reduce environmental and carbon footprints, for meaningful and inspirational global action and to actively manage climate risks and incorporate them into decision making, as well as to realize positive growth opportunities. The coalition urges the world’s leaders to reach an ambitious climate deal at COP21, aligned with the UN Post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals.
