The UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals
We support the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals
We take the climate seriously. That’s why we and our sister companies have chosen to support and work with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
If we are to succeed in improving the world’s major economic, social and environmental challenges, we believe everyone must do their part where it makes sense for them.
That’s why we also see it as a necessity to continuously work to improve efficiency and thereby reduce our consumption of the planet’s resources.
Our focus
With sustainability and social responsibility as a key part of our DNA, we support the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Although all 17 goals are undeniably important, we have chosen to primarily link our efforts to five selected goals:
Good health and well-being
We have set up our production with a focus on ergonomics, so our craftsmen can carry out their work as gently as possible.
We choose our materials carefully to ensure a healthy indoor climate for you who will be using our modules.
Affordable and clean energy
We have a 150 kW solar power system on the roof of our production facilities in Engesvang, which covers approx. 20% of our electricity consumption.
The remaining 80% of our electricity consumption is covered exclusively by power from renewable energy sources.
Decent work and economic growth
We choose our materials with the aim of ensuring good conditions throughout the entire supply chain. That’s why we only use FSC-certified wood.
We support local social engagement in Ikast-Brande Municipality and work with the municipality on employing, among others, unemployed people and flex-job employees.
Sustainable cities and communities
We heat our headquarters with surplus wood from production. This way, we save approx. 50% of the CO2 footprint of our daily operations.
We have converted a large part of the outdoor area at our headquarters in Engesvang from asphalt to 3,000 m2 of wildflower meadow and a rainwater basin to strengthen biodiversity in the local area.
Responsible consumption and production
We build our modules using at least 75% recycled parts and only throw materials away when they cannot be repaired or are worn out.
We sort all our production waste into 12 different fractions. In addition, we have further waste fractions for our authorized departments, administration and construction sites.
