Lars Petersson CEO of the VELUX Group
At the end of 2022, I took over as VELUX CEO and joined a company whose purpose is to create well-being for people and planet by transforming spaces with daylight and fresh air. Ever since our founding, VELUX has been shaped by our model company objective. That’s why for decades, VELUX has advocated and developed products for healthier and more sustainable buildings. With the building sector accounting for 37% of global CO₂ emissions* and millions of people still living with poor indoor climate, our purpose and sustainability strategy are more relevant than ever.
2022 marked a number of important milestones towards our goals. I’m proud of what the entire organisation has achieved within our own operations and equally important together with partners.
