What we do Sustainability

Solutions for sustainable living

Our roof windows can create a better and healthier indoor space for generations to come. They are built to last and made of certified wood. For the last 80 years, since our inception, we have always looked to improve our roof windows and make products useful for society. But we can do even better.

That is why we have set ourselves some ambitious goals. By 2041, we will become Lifetime Carbon Neutral while enhancing the sustainability of our products. We will add new features and upgrade the materials used to make our roof windows smarter and minimize their carbon footprint. So, in 2030, a VELUX roof window will contain 50% less CO2 and its packaging will be plastic free and made of 100% recyclable and single material.

Why? Because, It’s our Nature.

Production and sustainable products go hand in hand

We continuously seek to minimise our carbon footprint – from sourcing of raw materials to manufacturing, usage and end-of-life. This includes developing smart and energy saving products as well as keeping a close eye on the way we run our manufacturing facilities.

Making buildings healthier

The VELUX Group supports the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Through our products and solutions, we strive for ‘good health and well-being’ (SDG 3) in buildings to create ‘sustainable cities and communities’ (SDG 11), and we do this via ‘partnerships for the goals’ (SDG 17). This film explains why and how.
