Today the VELUX Group opens a hub for innovation in an old wooden warehouse converted into a modern workplace for creativity to thrive. LKR Innovation House has a carbon footprint well below similar buildings in Denmark due to the renovation and the reuse of more than 50 percent of the original materials.

Roof-window maker VELUX and sustainable developer igloo Regeneration agree to build homes based on the Living Places concept as part of an ambitious city-wide project to transform Sunderland into a connected, international city with opportunities for all.

In 2024, the VELUX Group reduced emissions from its own operations by 11% – a 60% decrease from the baseline year in 2020, bringing the company one step closer to its operational emissions target by 2030. VELUX also accelerated its biodiversity and circularity efforts and launched new initiatives within both areas. This progress was documented in the company’s Sustainability Report 2024, launched today.

The VELUX Group has completed biodiversity assessments at six key sites across Denmark, Italy, Hungary, and Poland, kicking off a new company-wide initiative to protect and restore nature. Using a tailored methodology developed with experts, assessments can establish a baseline for biodiversity across all VELUX locations with outdoor green areas, helping to guide future action. This work is part of broader ambitions to reduce our impact on biodiversity and integrate nature solutions across the entire VELUX value chain.

The VELUX Group and Thylander enter a new partner agreement to accelerate the green transition of the Danish construction industry. With this agreement, Thylander is the first investor and developer in Denmark to work with the Living Places principles in future building projects. The plan is to build 500 new rental homes with a low CO2 footprint.
