Our historical CO₂ to be captured through forest conservation with WWF

We will capture our historical carbon emissions – since our foundation in 1941 - by investing in forest and biodiversity projects developed and managed by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). 

At a time when the planet is facing dual climate and nature crises, we want to raise the bar for corporate climate and nature action. That is why we initiated a collaboration with WWF to help halt habitat loss and preserve biodiversity, which is crucial to achieve a sustainable future. 

Our partnership with WWF will conduct a total of five major forest projects in tropical forest landscapes with high biodiversity value. These projects around the world will capture approx. 5.6 million tonnes of CO₂e, including a 25 percent safety buffer. This is the equivalent of the VELUX Group’s historical CO₂ since its foundation in 1941 and up to its 100-year anniversary in 2041 (scope 1 and 2).
