Approach & progress

We have high ambitions for improving sustainability across our value chain. To turn these ambitions into actions that get results, we have set a number of sustainability targets to guide our efforts.

We recently incorporated these sustainability targets into our corporate strategy. This puts sustainability at the very heart of our business with the aim to make it part of all aspects of our organisation – from selecting our suppliers to the way we design our products right until their end-of-life handling.

We strive to lead the way in sustainable business practices in our sector and inspire change in the construction industry; furthermore, we want to be part of the movement to provide more sustainable, healthy, and affordable buildings where people can live, work, and thrive.

Model company objective

The way we approach sustainability is in line with our Model Company Objective, which our founder Villum Kann Rasmussen formulated in 1965. With the Model Company Objective, we aim to set a positive example through our behaviour. It guides how we respectfully engage with the people with whom we work, defines how we give back to the societies in which we operate and sets the direction for how we responsibly work with scarce natural resources.
