We go round​

In order to move forward

At Forbo Flooring Systems, it's action that is important, not just promises. We want to be a trusted partner who provides full transparency when it comes to circular flooring solutions and renewable raw materials.

​It is about the things we do, not just about the things we promise.

The pillars of our ambition

Renewability

Renewable materials are an important part of a fully circular future. That’s why we continue to increase the bio-based content in our portfolio. We are the world leader in linoleum, and our Marmoleum is made from up to 98% natural and renewable materials.

Transparency

With life cycle assessments as our constant guide for doing right, we continue to lead the industry towards new environmental standards. We have secured third-party verified EPDs, and we include human and eco-health declarations in all of our EPDs.

Circularity

We work on creating products that keep the end in mind - and do this throughout our design process and choice of materials. Our Back to the Floor programme is active in many markets, contributing to reuse and recycling.
