Warming our planet is irreversible. However, limiting it to 1.5°C is achievable. We are therefore working hard to reduce our CO2 emissions by 42% by 2030 and to be climate neutral by 2050. This is fully in line with the Paris Climate Agreement.
How do you do this? Well, as a company, we are committed to strict science-based targets or SBTs and are monitored by the Science Based Targets initiative, an initiative of the UN and WWF, among others.
"We want to be climate neutral by 2050. At our production sites, we are replacing natural gas with green energy."

Thanks to this set of specific ambitious goals, we are growing in a sustainable way and setting an example for the entire manufacturing industry.
Using revolutionary recycling technology, we are the first company in the world to recover MDF and HDF boards to make new materials. By 2030, we aim for at least 25% recycled fibres in our MDF wood mix. To keep 380,000 tonnes of CO2 stored every year.
Wood waste from customers is given a new life via take-back programs. By 2030, we aim to increase the quantity of reclaimed chipboard from 25,000 to 60,000 tonnes per year. For MDF, we want to go to 55,000 tonnes per year.
By 2030, we aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 42% compared to 2020. Among other things, we do this by replacing natural gas with green energy at our production sites as much as possible.
More about the green energy approach
By excluding fossil fuels from all our activities (such as production, energy and transport), we aim to become CO2 and climate neutral in the long run.
