As the year draws to a close, we’re proud to share our 2023 Sustainability Progress Dashboard. We remained dedicated to building on our foundations for change. Though we faced some challenges and setbacks, we continue forging a path toward a world where we #PutPeopleFirst #AchieveZeroCarbon #DeliverACircularEconomy and #CreateBetterBuildings. 📉 One success we’re particularly proud of is the 20.02% reduction in our Scope 1 + Scope 2 emissions. This is an immense achievement and greatly furthers our goal of 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2032. As our Sustainability Director Marc Bosmans, perfectly said: ‘We recognise that sustainability is not a simple transition; it is a metamorphosis.’ 💚 These achievements inspire us to keep pushing forward, while the setbacks drive us to be better. At Knauf Insulation, we believe sustainability isn’t just a goal—it’s a journey and we will continue to share our progress transparently with the people who matter most: you.

📍 A3 New Bailey, Manchester, UK 🏢 A modern high-rise office building in an urban environment, that has to meet the toughest sustainability criteria there are… A complex project that requires careful consideration from the very start. Noise-reduction, non-combustible materials, maximum wall depth, thermal performance, etc. 🍃 And that’s before introducing the requirements for Europe’s largest green wall. Over 4000 m2 of plants that require water, introducing a large amount of moisture into the system. ✅ Our technical team’s recommendation? A combination of rock mineral wool and glass mineral wool. These products significantly reduced the thickness of the wall, while ensuring excellent thermal and acoustic performance. The combination helped the building achieve the highest sustainability rating, while a custom water-repellent additive helps the living wall maintain integrity. 📢 What did the client think? We’ll let Jamie Simm from Lester Cladding explain: “Not only did Knauf Insulation’s product offering present superior thermal performance for a slimmer profile, it reduced costs across the whole build. As well as reducing the quantity of insulation required, we could use smaller helping hand brackets and thinner fire barriers for example. It was the product that steered the job through.” Read more about this project here: https://lnkd.in/eYBdWhZY #KnaufInsultion #BuildOnUs

Reducing peak demand is more than just energy bill savings. It's about rethinking building renovations. 🏠 Energy-efficient buildings, including homes, schools, and offices, can cut peak energy demand by up to 49%, saving the energy system €312 billion annually. 📊 According to the recent report on Flattening the Peak Demand, renovations in the EU’s worst-performing buildings could make a transformative impact. 🌍 The most vulnerable communities often occupy these buildings. Prioritising renovations reduces energy costs, benefiting those who need it most while driving economic and environmental progress. Let’s ensure building renovations are a central part of Europe’s energy and climate policy to create a stable, affordable, and competitive energy future.
