Sustainability

Polyflor’s vision is to minimise carbon emissions, as well as being socially and economically responsible. The vision of our business model is fully encompassed by the Three Pillars of Sustainability, which focus on synergy between Environment, Society (people) and Economics.

The GreenRate™ scheme operated by Global GreenTag International Pty Ltd., is a third party ecolabel program that rates sustainable products for the built environment covering whole-of-life issues as set out in the Global GreenTag International Standard. Assessment of products is based on measuring the impact of products, including in the following critical areas:

- Reduction of Energy and Greenhouse Gases

- Habitat and Land Degradation

- Resource Depletion and Efficiency

- Occupant and Contractor Health & Conditions

- Toxicity to Land, Air and Water

- Corporate Social Responsibility

Due to the strong performance in minimising the impact in these categories, Polyflor products are listed on the GreenTag database (https://www.globalgreentag.com) of environmentally preferable building materials, providing architects, designers and specifiers an easier and effective way to select an environmentally sustainable floorcovering. Furthermore, Polyflor achieves GreenRate™ level A across all its key product ranges, contributing to Green Star® Australia credits.
