Jacob Madsen, EVP for Region North Europe, has decided to leave the VELUX Group to take on an exciting role as Chief Commercial Officer at the Purmo Group, a leading European supplier in indoor climate solutions.

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.

Raffaella Berardo joins the VELUX Group as EVP for VELUX Southwest 1 June 2025 and will be part of the Executive Group Management. She comes from a position as Managing Director for Belgium & Luxembourg at Miele and brings with her nearly 30 years of experience from multinational companies and various roles in Marketing, Sales, and General Management across B2B and B2C environments. Raffaella replaces André Dot, who has chosen to step out of the role after five successful years in the position.

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.
