Materialising Sustainability
Since 2010, sustainability has been key part of our Group’s License to Operate (LTO) strategy. A key element of our approach is being highly transparent about our environmental footprint, as well as our plans for its reduction and our targets.
We have invested significant efforts in improving our environmental performance through the implementation of a number of projects and initiatives and we are continuously looking for opportunities to further reduce our environmental footprint. The focus of such initiatives is on the stages of the supply chain that are under our control and that we can influence. This allows us to improve our processes by increasing efficiency and selecting less impactful raw materials. However, to ensure even more transparency and capture most of the environmental impacts along the supply chain, we calculate and disclose the carbon footprint associated with the disposal of our panels, i.e. the so called cradle-to-grave carbon footprint.
For the first time, we have published a consolidated paper presenting our sustainability philosophy, approach, and impact results at a Group level.
The Group Position Paper focuses on our environmental impact, prioritising carbon emissions. In addition to the carbon footprint data from our manufacturing plants, the paper showcases key initiatives and provides concrete examples that illustrate our efforts and progress in reducing carbon emissions.
As we recognise the importance to assess the whole life cycle of our products, starting from this first Group paper, we have decided to quantify our footprint from cradle-to-grave, while our primary focus remains on cradle-to-gate. At the same time, we separately report the biogenic carbon uptake of our products to clearly highlight the biogenic carbon they store.
This Group Position Paper highlights the collective efforts of the Broadview Group to mitigate the environmental impact of our manufacturing plants. Every day, we collaborate as a unified team towards our shared goal: minimising our impact on climate change.

A common strategy for our group
Making Real Impact
for Less Impact
MATERIALISING SUSTAINABILITY (A GROUP PERSPECTIVE)
We are part of the materials division of Broadview – alongside other well-known brands, like Trespa, Formica Group, Westag, Homapal and Direct Online Services.
As part of this Group, we share a common sustainability approach, whose key element is reducing our carbon footprint.
It means putting into action investments to minimise the environmental impact in all of the operations and products and, consequently, reduce our footprint. This long-term strategy consists of two main pillars: the replacement of the most impactful inputs and the improvement of the efficiency of materials and processes.
All this is summarised in the sustainability mission that outlines the constant commitment of our Group: Making Real Impact for Less Impact.
