IrelandNature Positive
Sustainability is ingrained in everything we do, from fibre to finish. We’re on a positive journey towards momentous change. It’s about winning for the planet and its people, making a difference for healthy generations to come. Sustainability is ingrained in everything we do.
Future Targets
We are aligning with the World Green Building Council’s goals: a 40% reduction in embodied carbon by 2030 and net-zero by 2050.
Our roadmap includes:
1
Continuous R&D
Continuous R&D to innovate materials and configure supply chains, reducing emissions and boosting carbon sequestration, a process that captures and stores carbon dioxide
2
In-House Capacity
Increasing our in-house capacity to analyse and optimise life cycle impacts of existing products and products in the early design phase
3
Broadening EPD Scopes
Broadening EPD scopes to cover whole-of-life environmental assessments
4
Diversifying Materials
Diversifying materials with biobased, carbonsequestering options
5
Improving Operations
Improving operations with better processes, product recycled content, and end-of-life solutions
Looking Ahead
Our global carbon reduction initiative, Future Focus, is key to lowering our operational emissions through targeted projects in energy efficiency, transport, and waste management:
Phasing Out Fossil Energy Sources
- BECA consultants are developing our emissions reduction plan to support our net-zero transition
- Exploring hybrid staff vehicles to reduce emissions from business travel

Improving Energy Efficiency
- Upgrading to sensor-activated lighting to minimise unnecessary power consumption
- Installing variable speed drives on manufacturing lines to optimise energy use
- Improving real-time energy metering for improved monitoring and decision-making
