Biodiversity is essential for the processes that support all life on earth. We want to improve biodiversity on our own sites and work with suppliers to reduce the negative impact on biodiversity caused by our value chain.

We are also working to improve biodiversity beyond our value chain through our partnership with WWF and through our work to become a more circular business.



Improving biodiversity at VELUX Group sites

In 2023, we launched a global project to measure, improve, and document global biodiversity at VELUX Group sites.

Several of our sites already have biodiversity projects underway. For example, at our headquarters in Hørsholm, Denmark, we have established the first biodiversity baseline and are taking active measures to improve the conditions for species found. This includes expanding freshwater areas and looking into implementing rotational grazing.

Measuring and documenting our biodiversity efforts also makes it easier for us to align and track our progress with international frameworks, such as the Science-Based Targets for Nature and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures.

Working with our supply chain

Our greatest impacts and dependencies on nature are found in our supply chain from the extraction of raw materials for the creation of our products. This is by far the most complex part of our work to support biodiversity.

Currently, we are working to determine the impacts, risks and opportunities that sourcing raw materials has on biodiversity. We plan to include biodiversity in our supplier due diligence and work directly with our suppliers for the benefit of both our company and our planet.
