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.

Product Transparency

We consider it our responsibility to provide transparent material ingredient reporting, helping the specifier make product choices for the health and safety of building occupants in respect of Indoor Environmental Quality. By providing Health Product Declarations (HPDs), we want to ensure we are making the task of architects, designers and specifiers as straightforward as possible when selecting building materials.

Healthy Living Environment

The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) inside the spaces where we learn, work, heal, eat, shop and play should not make us sick. Ideally, they should keep us healthy. In working toward this goal, more building owners and occupants are following LEED, WELL and other green building guidelines that embrace health and wellness for both people and the planet.

Circular Economy

Supported by Circle Economy Consulting, ROCKWOOL has developed a set of circularity KPIs to not only support disclosure in relation to CSRD and the EU Taxonomy, but also to help drive the transition along every step of the value chain. Circle Economy Consulting has developed an indicator dashboard for ROCKWOOL to measure its efforts against applying to different steps of the value chain: Circular materials, Circular use and Circular end-of-life.
