Rockwool announces carbon targets

COPENHAGEN — Rockwool Group has unveiled its new carbon emissions reduction goals, which amount to a one-third decrease in its life cycle greenhouse gas emissions by 2034. The plan has been verified by the Science Based Targets Initiative, a joint project of organizations including the UN Global Compact and the World Wildlife Fund. “We’re proud to be among the few energy-intensive manufacturing companies whose science-based emission reduction targets SBTi has verified and approved,” Rockwool CEO Jens Birgersson said in a release. “These new targets build on the strong foundation that we are already a net carbon negative company.”
