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


Tarkett announces 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’s relationship with Design Museum on the We Design exhibit is an important step to bringing broader awareness and collaboration around this need. Diversity, equity and inclusion is a major focus in our business and Tarkett views this collaboration as another step towards driving positive change. 

We Design is a multimedia exhibition celebrating a variety of creative professionals — of differing ages, genders, backgrounds, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and abilities — showcasing their unique career paths through stories and photos, along with examples of their work throughout their careers, including design process imagery and artifacts. The exhibition also explores the need for more diversity in the design and innovation industries through quantitative and qualitative data visualizations and case studies. This exhibition will be free and open to the public, premiering in early October 2019 at the Bruce C. Bolling Municipal Building in Roxbury, MA.
