SUSTAINABLE FUTURES FOR ALL - 17.05.2011
Knauf Insulation has experienced significant growth over the
last decade becoming the worlds third largest insulation company.
‘Insulation matters’ is the first Group Sustainability Report 2010
from Knauf Insulation that sets out activities during 2009 and 2010
as well as how Knauf Insulation will continue to grow responsibly
in the future.
Being one of the fastest growing manufacturers of insulation
materials, the company’s attitude and effect on the environment in
which it operates has grown, and with it, so has Knauf Insulation’s
responsibility to manage these impacts responsibly. As such, the
Report aims to be an honest and balanced representation of
processes, actions and aims at Knauf Insulation.
Tony Robson, Group Chief Executive for Knauf Insulation says:
“This Report sets out the challenges that we see the building
industry facing over the coming decade, how we are evolving our
product offering and range to deal with these challenges and
finally, how we as a company are improving our performance.”
Knauf Insulation is constantly driving product innovation
forward and leading the way in the manufacture of highly
sustainable insulation products with low environmental impact for
any building application. As a company, Knauf Insulation has
already taken many steps towards managing its environmental and
social impacts, including increasing recycled content across all
its manufacturing processes, reducing energy use and decreasing
road transport through increased compression factors. In addition,
the company has carried out a range of activities such as welfare
programmes and supporting local community initiatives.
