Driving Decarbonisation

The data is clear: 26% of non-residential buildings in Europe will need to be renovated by 2033.

Low-carbon renovation starts with three guiding principles: Sobriety, Circularity, and Anticipation.

We use recycled materials like aluminium, polyamide, and EPDM, and we design our products so they can be easily taken apart and recycled at the end of their life. Our goal? To shrink our environmental impact without compromising performance or quality.

And we don't do it alone. With support from our partners, we're scaling up - collecting end-of-life materials and turning them into new, sustainable solutions that can be recycled all over again.

We are closing the loop!

We believe one thing is certain. The cities of tomorrow cannot be built without reusing what we already have.

Aluminium makes perfect sense. It's endlessly recyclable, keeps its strength no matter how many times it's reused, and needs very little maintenance - whether anodised or painted.

By choosing Hydro CIRCAL, a prime-quality aluminium made with at least 75% recycled end-of-life aluminium, we're not just meeting regulations. We're staying ahead of them. It also helps you to reach the highest standards for the most demanding building regulations.

And we haven't stopped at aluminium. Every component is chosen with care, prioritising low environmental impact and high post-consumer recycled content. We source responsibly, right across our value chain.

Circularity plays a key role when cutting product-related carbon emissions even further. It's not just a principle, it's our path forward.

Our Mission:

• Design lightweight, high-performance products that last starting today. And when the time comes, they can be taken apart and sorted with ease.

• Use circular materials for our products to lower our environmental impact and reduce industry waste.

• Build systems through a responsible supply chain, backed by independent certifications for full traceability.

• Deliver solutions that go beyond compliance, give our fabricator partners a competitive edge, and open the door for green financing for our clients.

This is how we shape a more sustainable future - right from the first design concept.

We take a holistic view of sustainability. Every choice we make matters - from the materials we select to the way we package and deliver our products. That's why we've set ourselves a bold target: to cut our company's carbon footprint by 50% between 2018 and 2025.

To get there, we're rethinking how we operate, every step of the way.

• We're reducing our energy and water consumption across our sites through smarter processes and cleaner production.

• We're streamlining logistics to lower emissions with optimised routes and lower carbon fuel choices. Our car fleet is now either hybrid or electric with a strong push towards sustainable transport methods where possible.

• From recyclable and reusable packaging to reduced volume and weight, we're cutting waste and improving efficiency. The goal? Less environmental impact, more circularity.

This isn't a quick fix. It's a company-wide shift toward long-term change. And we're committed to making it happen.

We know that true progress isn't possible without safe, fair, and responsible workplaces. That's where it starts.

Inside our company, we're committed to building an environment where people feel valued, included, and empowered. We strive for a culture that encourages engagement, celebrates diversity, and supports a shared sense of responsibility in everything we do.

But we don't just talk about it. We hold ourselves accountable through third-party audits by Ecovadis and other national bodies.

And we look outward too. Our commitment extends across the supply chain, where we actively assess the social and environmental responsibility of our suppliers.

Because doing better - for people and the planet - means taking responsibility at every level.
