The company aims to head the construction industry towards net zero, decarbonize its operations, and maintain its strong track record of advancing sustainable innovations.
In Europe, the company partnered to produce the world’s first circular PEX pipe from its production waste, received validation for new greenhouse gas emission reduction targets from the Science Based Targets initiative, and celebrated a factory in Nastola, Finland, achieving complete carbon-neutral operations.
The carbon-neutral factory concept
“Our industry has a strong influence on sustainable ways of life. With our products and systems, we want to continuously reduce the CO2 footprint of buildings. On the one hand, our innovation focus lies in making our products easy to use and, on the other hand, making the production and materials of our products even more sustainable,” says Michael Rauterkus, president, of GF Building Flow Solutions.
“To support our commitment to pioneering the construction industry towards net zero by example, we have created a Carbon Neutral Factory concept, which highlights our efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Our objective is to replicate the concept in our other factories.”
