Innovate sustainable products
The core of the strategy house shows our ambition to innovate sustainable products that can create better indoor spaces for people and care for the environment.
Reduce our product carbon footprint
By 2030 our aim is to reduce 50% of product carbon footprint

The carbon footprint of a generic VELUX roof window
Approximately 78% of product carbon footprint comes from materials used. As all new material alternatives need to be validated by our product teams before they can be used in our products, we have refocused the efforts of product teams to secure this. We continue to work with product design-related reduction of carbon footprint and we have introduced sustainability as a development driver. As expected, our product carbon footprint continues to rise because of the higher amount of used materials per window.
Green our packaging
By 2030 ensure single material packaging. Zero Plastic. 100% recyclable.
In 2022 we continued to roll out fully recyclable plastic-free paper- and cardboard-based packaging. The new packaging material, made of responsibly sourced paper and cardboard, is now fully implemented for all standard residential windows sold in Europe.
