Built to Last VELUX roof windows remain in roofs for at least three decades, bringing in daylight and fresh air and making indoor spaces bright, airy and open. They go through a variety of durability tests, such as anti-corrosion, mechanical and ageing tests, temperature, UV and humidity exposure, to ensure their high quality and a long life in your home. They are easy to maintain, upgrade and repair to ensure they stay in your home for generations to come. Read about how our products are Built to Last Made of sustainable wood VELUX roof windows are made of more than 99% sustainable wood. Our FSC and PEFC certified forest partners ensure the protection of biodiversity and wildlife habitat in the forests we source the wood from. Sustainable harvest levels are secured through reforestation and replanting, so that new trees are planted to replace the wood we source.

David Briggs, CEO, the VELUX Group UN Sustainable Development Goals Our strategy mainly impacts these SDGs: Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being for all at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Our products provide daylight and fresh air from above, which improves the sense of health and well-being in a time where people spend up to 90% of their time indoors. The UN goals declare that urgent action is needed to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns across all sectors of the economy. Our answer is to aim for a reduction of our carbon footprint by 50% in 2020 and to have zero waste from our production. All this should be achieved in a safe and healthy working environment where our employees thrive.
