Climate-neutral society
Working towards tomorrow's climate-neutral society
With our insulating building products, we are an important link in the realisation of passive buildings. At the same time, we are taking measures to reduce our own CO2 emissions and other emissions to air, soil and water. Finally, we close as many material loops as possible: we use raw materials sparingly, use circular packaging and recycle. Our three focus areas are:
Climate action
Soudal is committed to sustainability and cared about the climate long before it became a global concern. Our actions on climate taking place on four levels:
- We are tackling our own CO2 emissions, primarily the direct emissions generated in our own production processes and buildings.
- We examine how we can reduce the emissions of propellants inherent in some of our products, both in our factories and at the users.
- We reduce indirect emissions generated during the transport of our raw materials and products.
- With our products we are making the way people build and live more sustainable, worldwide. We want to further increase that positive contribution to the climate transition.
Protection of the environment
Our actions to protect the environment are taking place on three levels:
- We are reducing our impact on water, soil and biodiversity.
- We are reducing our water consumption.
- We are emitting fewer Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Circular products
The linear economy exhausts available raw materials worldwide. It accelerates climate change and puts great pressure on the environment and biodiversity. That’s why Soudal wants to switch to a circular model step by step. Our circular actions are taking place on three levels:
- We are making our packaging circular.
- We use more sustainable raw materials.
- We manage our waste well.
