Sustainability

SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR KEY FOCUS AREA

We continuously reduce the environmental footprint of our established bitumenbased waterproofing products. It is worth remembering that these already consist largely of inputs that are residues from refineries (bitumen) and from recycled plastic bottles. The unsurpassed durability of our products is another important fact contributing to a positive environmental impact.

The safety of our colleagues is of the highest priority, and in 2023 lost time accidents have been reduced compared to 2022.

A majority of our recent acquisitions have been focused on wood-based, CO2-storing building elements, green infrastructure and solar solutions.

WE PROTECT AND CONSERVE OUR COMMON HABITATS

Our business concept is based on sustainability. This means enabling customers to protect, preserve and contribute to the durability of buildings and infrastructure. We contribute with environmental and climate-saving products for better energy performance, CO2-neutral alternatives and green infrastructure that contributes to increased biodiversity.

A FOCUS ON SUSTAINABLE BUILDING SOLUTION

Based on our fundamental interest in sustainability, we have built up a market leading assortment of products developed for the building envelope and solid skills in manufacturing and installation.

Our products’ material properties have a long material durability of up to half a century. We are now working to continuously broaden the range and product quality.

INCREASED FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY

We have increased our focus on sustainability to meet the market’s demand for more sustainable solutions. It also includes the work of reducing the CO2 footprint with clear new targets. It comprises the value chain; purchasing, production and installation. More efficient resource utilization with increased recycling has also been prioritized and targeted.

GRANTS THAT REDUCE SUSTAINABILITY IMPACTS

A large part of our products and services aim to protect and preserve the durability of buildings and infrastructure.We also offer products that have a lower CO2 impact and contribute to better energy performance. Expanded installation services in photovoltaic production contribute to fossilfree electricity generation. Green infrastructure contributes to CO2 and biodiversity sequestration.

THE GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

The Group signed the UN Global Compact in 2012.

We support and contributes to the UN’s sustainability goals and have chosen to give special priority to six of these goals.
