Tarkett Commits to Addressing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion within Design Industry
Solon, Ohio -- Tarkett recently announced its national title sponsorship of the Design Museum Foundation’s upcoming exhibition, We Design: People. Practice. Progress. The sponsorship is an important step in a multi-year plan to make diversity, equity and inclusion a major company focus, both internally and in collaboration with the architecture and design industry.
Tarkett doesn't consider itself just a flooring manufacturer, but a collaborative partner to and member of the architecture and design community. For years, our community has been discussing the lack of diversity, equity and inclusion on its teams, but progress has been slow and intermittent. Despite a variety of efforts to improve, architecture continues to be "among the least diverse professions in America," as Brenden Jackson wrote for GenslerOn.
