Certification, EPDs and build schemes
Forbo's steps towards sustainability and product improvement are clearly and transparently communicated, guided and independently verified by our product and management labels and management systems.
Product and management certification
Tessera flooring solutions are designed, developed and manufactured in fully integrated management systems. Quality, safety, environment and social certification (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 and SA8000) gives assurance that Forbo produces flooring products of the highest quality, lowest environmental impact, safely and respecting employee rights both within Forbo and our supply chains.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)
All Tessera carpet tiles in standard Probac have individual Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) which are third party verified in accordance to ISO 14025 and EN 15804, giving a detailed and transparent overview of environmental impacts such as total recycled content and embodied carbon levels of each Tessera range.

Build schemes
Build schemes are one of the key drivers in accelerating the development of more sustainable and lower impact products. Popular build schemes like BREEAM, LEED, WELL and SKA demand exacting standards across a wide range of qualifying criteria, including, for example, EPDs, indoor air quality and recycled content. Tessera carpet tiles contribute to all build schemes, enabling specifiers to achieve the credits they require to meet their specified project performance targets.
