Our approach

Kingspan recognises the importance of conducting its business in a socially responsible manner. This is demonstrated in the way we deal with our employees, customers and the wider community where we operate. Kingspan considers that corporate social responsibility is an integral element of good business management.

To this end, Kingspan has formalised and adopted its sustainability policy which is being implemented across the Group. The vision is for Kingspan:

“To be a global leader in sustainable business and establish a leading position in providing ethical, renewable and affordable best practice solutions for the construction sector.”

Striving for sustainability in all our business products and operations is our corporate and personal responsibility. Kingspan aims to adopt and apply best practice sustainability principles by ensuring environmental, social and economic parameters are considered in an integrated way in product and service delivery.

To deliver on this vision Kingspan will:

• Incorporate the ethos of sustainability into the vision and values of the organisation.
• Continue to invest in research and development in the area of maximising insulation values in products, and the integration of renewable energy products into the Kingspan solution.
• Continually improve operational performance through the setting of long-term objectives and targets related to sustainability and review progress regularly.
• Comply or exceed applicable legal and policy requirements related to the environmental and social aspects of the organisation.
• Optimise energy and raw material usage and prevent or minimise pollution and environmental damage.
• Develop a framework to continually monitor sustainability performance and actively communicate progress annually in the form of a published sustainability report, using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines.
• Communicate and actively promote awareness and acceptance of this policy to everyone working for or on behalf of Kingspan (including employees, shareholders, suppliers / sub-contractors and customers).
• Ensure employees are given adequate training in sustainability issues and are fully involved in helping deliver the Kingspan Group Sustainability Vision & Policy.
• Implement a Code of Conduct and supporting sustainability guidelines for key suppliers and contractors and other interested parties to ensure they comply with the Kingspan Group Sustainability Policy.
