Designflooring Evolve™
At Designflooring, sustainability is more than a commitment - it’s a core value shaping every floor we create. Inspired by nature, we adapt, perfect, and deliver products that positively impact our planet and communities.
Our floors do more than just look beautiful - they contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world.
Building a sustainable future together
Sustainability is the foundation of everything we do. As experts in commercial flooring, we understand our responsibility to the environment, our people, and the communities we serve. This commitment drives us forward, reflected in Designflooring Evolve™, our roadmap to becoming a truly sustainable business.
Our six pillars of sustainability
Our sustainability journey is built around six key pillars, each essential to our mission of creating a more sustainable future.
1. Confronting climate change
We have committed to near-term, science-based emission reduction targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and aligned with the Paris Agreement, to cut our company-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030. Through energy efficiency, renewable energy integration and adherence to ISO 14001 standards, we ensure our environmental management systems are rigorously designed to minimise our impact on the planet
2. Health and wellbeing
The wellbeing of our customers and employees is at the heart of our product design. Our floors are FloorScore certified, ensuring low emissions and healthier indoor environments. We also partner with SEDEX to ensure ethical practices throughout our supply chain, promoting health and wellbeing for workers and safe and fair working conditions.
3. Sustainable use of resources
We believe in using resources with care. Our products are crafted with sustainability in mind, incorporating up to 50% recycled materials in their backing layers. Through independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), we offer full transparency about the environmental impact of our products. As active members of ERFMI, that means constantly pushing the boundaries of sustainability in our industry.
4. Inclusion and diversity
We’re proud to foster an inclusive culture where everyone’s voice is heard and valued. By championing diversity, we ensure that our team reflects the richness of the communities we serve. Education and engagement are key to inspiring change from within.
5. Supply chain transparency
Integrity and transparency are the foundations of our supply chain. We uphold strict standards for ethical sourcing and production, validated by third-party certifications. As SEDEX participants, we maintain rigorous sustainability criteria, ensuring our suppliers meet the highest standards for labour conditions, health and wellbeing, environmental performance and business ethics.
6. Education
We believe that knowledge empowers change. We equip our employees with the tools and training they need to support our sustainability goals. Through continuous learning and development, we cultivate a culture committed to both sustainability and innovation.
