OUR COMMITMENT

Making Strides Toward Our Sustainability Targets

kingspan

At Kingspan, our mission is to accelerate a net-zero emissions future-built environment with people and planet at its heart. Planet Passionate is our Group-wide environmental sustainability program that sets several ambitious targets across four focus areas: carbon, energy, circularity and water. These targets help Kingspan and our partners contribute to a clean energy future, manage the earth’s resources more sustainably and protect our natural environment.

Kingspan's 2024 Planet Passionate report demonstrates our most impactful year yet in advancing toward a net-zero emissions future. Building on our 2023 achievements, we expanded our environmental leadership across North America with remarkable results: a 13.5% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions, 61.6% reduction in landfill waste, and 37.6% direct renewable energy use across our operations. Our commitment to renewable energy reached a milestone with 100% of wholly-owned sites now equipped with solar PV systems, generating 2.6 GWh of clean energy. We also harvested 500,000 mega liters of rainwater and maintained our fleet with 92% electric vehicles. Beyond operational excellence, our Planet Passionate Communities program flourished, more than doubling community engagement events to 16 across six sites in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. These achievements reflect our dedication to innovation, integrity, and impact as we progress toward our 11 Planet Passionate goals across Our Four Focus Areas.
