Carbon and Energy
Through our Planet Passionate programme, we aim to help enable lower carbon buildings, not only in the operational phase but also in the upfront and construction phase.
During the year, the Group achieved 70% reduction in scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions against our 2020 base year. Additionally, 50% of large sites (≥5 GWh annual energy consumption) are certified with ISO 50001. This is supported by the completion of 52 energy efficiency projects, further demonstrating our efficiency first approach to decarbonisation.
Circularity
Our vision is to deliver solutions to support the transition to a circular economy within the construction sector.
In 2025, the Group introduced two new targets to reinforce its commitment to a more circular business model. The first focuses on the increased use of recycled and renewable raw materials in our processes (1.05m tonnes used in 2025), whereas the second aims to expand and scale product takeback and recycling schemes (10 schemes facilitated during the year).
Water
As a manufacturer of solutions that harvest and recycle water, we recognise the need for water security and the protection of our natural water systems.
As of 2025, we have 59 rainwater harvesting systems installed across our businesses. These systems have the potential to harvest 68 million litres annually. During the year, we harvested and used 57.3 million litres of rainwater.
Planet Passionate aims to help tackle three big global challenges – climate change, circularity and protection of the natural world.
In 2025, we delivered more than 180 projects, continuing to make significant progress towards our targets, including our circularity and energy efficiency targets introduced this year.

- Excluding biogenic emissions. Scope 2 GHG emissions calculated using market-based methodology.
- 2020 base year GHG emissions were recalculated due to acquisitions that occurred in 2021 through to 30 September 2025.
- Kingspan defines a ‘zero emissions car’ as a vehicle with zero tailpipe emissions. The boundary does not include the energy used to power the
vehicle or the embodied emissions from manufacturing. Includes 100% owned Kingspan businesses. - Large sites: Sites with ≥5GWh annual energy use during the prior year 2024.
- 90% reduction of waste to landfill in Kingspan manufacturing, R&D and assembly facilities from 2020 base year.
- Increase in 2025 waste to landfill relates to legacy waste management processes from a 2024 acquisition which are now resolved.

Where Strategy Meets Action
Planet Passionate is not just a set of environmental targets; it is a pillar of our strategy and is deeply embedded in the way we operate.
Download our Planet Passionate Report to read about how this pillar has permeated every facet of our business:
Carbon
70%
Reduction in Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions¹ against 2020 base year.
In 2025, we achieved a 24% reduction in scope 3 GHG emissions and a 4% reduction in the carbon intensity of our key raw materials compared to the 2020 base year.
These achievements were supported by our continued engagement and collaboration with our key suppliers.
Energy
63%
Renewable energy consumption.
Further reductions were achieved this year via the implementation of new renewable energy contracts, deployment of solar PV systems and process electrification.
At the end of 2025, the Group has 50% of large sites² certified with ISO 50001. This is supported by the completion of 52 energy efficiency projects.
Circularity
1.05m tonnes
Following the setting of our new target, in 2025, we used 1.05 million tonnes of recycled and renewable raw materials in the manufacturing of our products.
In 2025, we completed 32 landfill diversion projects resulting in over 3,460 tonnes of waste being diverted from landfill.
As of 2025, we have four product takeback schemes and six recycling schemes in place in key markets. New schemes introduced in 2025 include Joris Ide NextCircle, Tate Reuse Panel, and Kingspan Natural Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilators (NSHEVs) takeback.
Water
57.3m
Litres of rainwater harvested.
As of 2025, we have 59 rainwater harvesting systems installed across our businesses. These systems have the potential to harvest 68 million litres annually.
We are delighted to announce we have partnered with Seven Clean Seas, which will facilitate the recovery of approximately 119,000 kg of ocean-bound plastic from Batam, Indonesia and Samut Prakan, Thailand across a three-year period.
