Our products save energy, cut emissions and are designed to make sure buildings are good for the environment and keep people healthy, safe and well. Across our company, we have been working on all three pillars of sustainability for over a decade. We have focused on zero harm, reducing our energy use and emissions, recycling our production waste, incorporating circular economy principles and constantly campaigning for better and more sustainable buildings. Over the past decade we have achieved great things and we are proud of how we have changed our company, helped our colleagues, communities and customers and reduced our impact on the environment. But sustainability is a process of continuous improvement. We need to build on our successes. We must do more for our people and our environment. That’s why we’ve created our new sustainability strategy. We call the new strategy ‘For A Better World’ because it builds on the success of our mission statement: “Our vision is to lead the change in smarter insulation solutions for a better world.” 2010 TO 2020 HIGHLIGHTS Energy & Related Emissions Safety Waste NOx Water Use 22.7% reduction in energy use Lost Time Accidents reduced by 56% Waste to landfill reduced by 67.3% NOx reduced by 42.7% 39.8% reduction in Water Use 23.2% reduction in related emissions 80.7% reduction in Water Discharge WE HAVE SET OURSELVES FOUR IMPORTANT LONG-TERM GOALS FOR THE FUTURE.
