Our contribution to a more sustainable building sector
VELUX roof windows are designed to transform living spaces by harnessing natural daylight and enhancing indoor air quality, promoting well-being and creating healthy indoor environments. Since our founding in 1941, the VELUX Group has remained committed to delivering products that are both functional and beneficial to society, driving innovation in energy-efficient windows and ventilation solutions.
Today, as buildings account for nearly 40% of Europe’s energy consumption, improving indoor climates with innovative building solutions is more critical than ever. At the VELUX Group, we aim to be part of the solution by creating energy-efficient, affordable, and healthier buildings, while taking steps towards minimising our impact on both people and the planet.

Our decarbonisation commitments
We are committed to reducing emissions from our own operations and our value chain. To guide our work, we have set targets that have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative and are aligned with the Paris Agreement.
By 2030, we aim to eliminate our operational (Scope 1&2) emissions without using carbon offsets and halve our value chain (Scope 3) emissions in absolute terms compared with 2020.
Our partnership with WWF
We are committed to reducing and removing CO2 equivalent to our historical carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2) since our foundation in 1941 and up until 2041 – our 100th anniversary. To help us deliver on this commitment, in 2020 we entered a 20-year partnership with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
The partnership aims to contribute the verified carbon units generated by the forest projects to the host countries' climate commitments. This means that the verified carbon units will not be traded nor used for offsetting by the VELUX Group or any other organisation.
