A plan for the future starts with our past

With our Sustainability Strategy 2030, we commit to capture our historical CO2 emissions.

Together with WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), we are capturing our historical C02 emissions through forest conservation.  We will also reduce our future carbon emissions from our entire value chain in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5˚C reduction target.

A plan for the future starts with our past

With our Sustainability Strategy 2030, we commit to capture our historical CO2 emissions.

Together with WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), we are capturing our historical C02 emissions through forest conservation.  We will also reduce our future carbon emissions from our entire value chain in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5˚C reduction target.

How do we do this?

By investing in forest conservation projects from 2020-2041, we will be capturing our historical carbon emissions.

Why forest projects with WWF?

Restoring and conserving forests are efficient ways to capture carbon from the air and to safeguard biodiversity globally. WWF knows where new trees are needed and where old should be preserved.

We commit to reduce our future emissions to meet the Paris Agreement 1.5°C path

Why the 1.5°C reduction target?

Climate science shows it is necessary to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, so we commit to reduce our future emissions to meet this target and lead the change in global corporate climate action. The Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) has approved our targets aligned with the Paris Agreement 1.5°C path.

Our roof windows and overall product sustainability are at the core of our Sustainability Strategy 2030

What about our roof windows?

Since wood is a primary material in most VELUX roof windows, we have a direct obligation to ensure that wood sourcing for our production does not have negative consequences for the environment and forest biodiversity. In 2019, 99.6% of the wood used for VELUX roof windows in Europe was sourced from certified sustainable forests.

We have always strived to develop products useful to society and therefore it is imperative that our roof windows and overall product sustainability are at the core of our Sustainability Strategy 2030. More specifically, by 2030 we commit to e.g. halving our products C02 emissions and making our packaging single material, zero plastic and 100 percent recyclable.
