Green buildings

Buildings are responsible for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions, which makes construction one of the largest contributing sectors to climate change. Most of us also spend a large part of our daily lives inside buildings, so they have an impact on our health and well-being as well. We supply a wide range of more sustainable solutions that can help to reduce the environmental footprint – and increase the health benefits – of the built environment. As an industry leader committed to creating more green buildings, our product innovations can play an important role in making cities and communities more sustainable.

Benefits of green buildings

Whether it’s in their design, construction or operation, “green” buildings reduce or eliminate negative impacts and can have a positive impact on our climate and natural environment. Green buildings have both commercial and sustainability benefits. They aim to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment, preserve precious natural resources and improve the quality of life for people who live and work in them.
