As we reach the end of the year, we’d like to thank our customers, partners, and colleagues for their continued support, and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

At ROCKWOOL, we believe that robust product testing, alongside accurate and up-to-date information, are essential to support building safety and performance. As the industry continues to adapt to changes brought about by the Building Safety Act, and regulatory expectations and fire safety standards continue to rise, there is a growing demand from specifiers, architects and contractors for product information they can trust. So we’re pleased to let you know that 13 ROCKWOOL external wall products have passed Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) assessment and that we’re continuing to advance CCPI assessment across our product portfolio, with more updates to follow. To learn more about our commitment to marketing integrity and our CCPI assessed products, visit our dedicated webpage. https://lnkd.in/g68Kwjm4 #CCPI #MarketingIntegrity 

The ROCKWOOL Group has ambitious global goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the business, aiming for net zero by 2050 with an interim target of cutting emissions by one third by 2034. To support progress toward these long-term targets, ROCKWOOL UK has been working in partnership with FSEW freight specialists to cut more than 630 tonnes of CO2 from our UK logistics in just 15 months by using electric and biomethane-powered HGVs across 22% of our deliveries.  We are planning to expand the number of routes served by low-carbon vehicles in 2025 and 2026, including longer-haul routes into North England and Scotland.

The ROCKWOOL Group has ambitious climate objectives, committing to net-zero carbon by 2050 with an interim milestone to lower its greenhouse gas output by one-third by 2034. Together with FSEW International Freight Forwarders, we’ve taken a major step to reduce carbon emissions from our UK logistics. In just 15 months, we’ve saved more than 630 tonnes of CO2 by switching to electric and biomethane-powered HGVs on 22% of our deliveries. By making the switch, our CO2 saving is the equivalent to the levels that can be removed from the atmosphere by 15,000 mature trees each year. With transport and distribution emissions rising on customer agendas, our collaboration shows that meaningful reductions are possible. We are planning to expand the number of routes served by low-carbon vehicles in 2025 and 2026, including longer-haul routes into North England and Scotland.
