Finland: Paroc Group, a major supplier of insulation to the baltic market, has published its first sustainability report, which covers 2009 to 2011. The indicators presented in the report are tools for measuring and following Paroc's sustainable progress in all its production facilities in Finland, Sweden, Poland and Lithuania.

"Sustainability is a factor which strongly influences the development and renewal of our business because our products play a significant role in improving the energy efficiency of buildings," said Paroc Group's CEO, Kari Lehtinen. "We operate in an energy-intensive industry so the ecological efficiency and waste recyclability provide additional savings while minimising the burden on the environment and thus contributing to our common wellbeing."

Paroc considers its most important goals for the coming years to involve increasing the energy efficiency of its production facilities and reaching the occupational safety target of zero accidents by 2020.

At all of Paroc's production plants, processes operate according to the current regulations and standards. Beatrice Rantanen, Paroc Group's Sustainability Manager, emphasised that its production facilities in Finland and Sweden depend almost solely on green energy and that 75% of Paroc's waste is recycled.

"High-quality heat insulation is the most effective and inexpensive way to affect the energy efficiency of new buildings. The benefits will be emphasised even more when Europe shifts to zero-energy building by the year 2020," added Lehtinen.

Global Insulation recognised Paroc's attention to environmental effects in 2012, awarding the company the Global Insulation Company of the Year award at the Global Insulation Conference & Exhibition in Riga, Latvia in September 2012.
