Tarkett Commits to Addressing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion within Design Industry

Solon, Ohio—Tarkett is supporting the Design Museum Foundation as a national title sponsor for its upcoming exhibition, We Design: People. Practice. Progress. According to the company, the sponsorship is an important step in a multi-year plan to make diversity, equity and inclusion a major focus, both internally and in collaboration with the architecture and design industry.

For years, the A&D 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, says Brenden Jackson, writer/editor for Gensler A&D firm.
