Supporting biodiversity
Biodiversity underpins all life on Earth and is essential for critical services such as clean air, fresh water, and food security. To address the global biodiversity crisis, we are working to promote biodiversity in our operations and collaborate with our suppliers to minimise the negative impacts of our value chain.

Improving biodiversity at VELUX Group sites

In 2023, we launched a global project to measure, improve, and document global biodiversity at VELUX Group sites.

Several of our sites already have biodiversity projects underway. For example, at our headquarters in Hørsholm, Denmark, we have established the first biodiversity baseline and are taking active measures to improve the conditions for species found. This includes expanding freshwater areas and looking into implementing rotational grazing.

Measuring and documenting our biodiversity efforts also makes it easier for us to align and track our progress with international frameworks, such as the Science-Based Targets for Nature and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures.


Working with our supply chain

Our greatest impacts and dependencies on nature are found in our supply chain from the extraction of raw materials for the creation of our products. This is by far the most complex part of our work to support biodiversity.

Currently, we are working to determine the impacts, risks and opportunities that sourcing raw materials has on biodiversity. We plan to include biodiversity in our supplier due diligence and work directly with our suppliers for the benefit of both our company and our planet.

Circular Business
A commitment to become a circular business
The transition to a circular economy is key to decarbonising the built environment and reducing the impacts associated with materials. We have begun integrating materials with an increased share of recycled content in our products and we are now taking the next step to integrate circularity further into product design and to develop a customer-centric approach to the circular economy.
