Sustainability at ROCKWOOL

Read about our 2024 Annual Report

Building a climate resilient future

We transform volcanic rock into stone wool and our products contribute to address many of society’s biggest climate change challenges, creating new opportunities to enrich modern living and build safer, healthier, and more climate resilient communities. Indeed, stone wool is a versatile natural material with multiple benefits that makes it ideal for applications in buildings, industry, transportation, horticulture, and water management.

Sustainability goals

Our aim is to turn sustainable development challenges into business opportunities by developing innovative, safe products that address some of the most significant societal challenges of our time. As a durable, recyclable, non-combustible, and versatile material, stone wool forms the basis of our business. Sustainability is the foundation that underpins the ROCKWOOL business model and value chain.

Since 2016, ROCKWOOL has been aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) framework. Drawing on extensive consultation with both internal and external stakeholders, we have prioritised 10 of the 17 SDGs. This was confirmed by the double materiality assessment. Gender equality (SDG 5) and Peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16) were added in 2024. We have targets related to gender equity and a target for the ratio of active employees in at-risk functions who received Code of Conduct training.
