Our Impact

As climate change intensifies, urgent action is critical. Buildings and construction account for 37% of energy-related emissions globally.

 

Kingspan’s mission is to accelerate a net zero emissions built environment with people and planet at its heart. Through the Completing the Envelope strategy we offer customers a wider range of high-performance building envelope solutions which deliver energy efficient, lower embodied carbon buildings and can also generate renewable energy.
