In 2022, Troldtekt’s positive developments in its approach to CSR continued. After a decade of using the Cradle to Cradle design concept as a strategic framework, Troldtekt acoustic solutions advanced to Cradle to Cradle Gold level. In spring 2022, Troldtekt launched acoustic panels based on the reduced-carbon cement type FUTURECEM™. At the same time, we continued to ensure that almost all the energy for our production comes from renewable sources (97.7 per cent).
However, the biggest milestone of the year was the acquisition of Troldtekt by the global construction company Kingspan Group. With the new ownership comes access to resources, skills and systems that provide muscle to accelerate CSR work in the coming years. Michael Heeager Nystrup, CEO of Troldtekt A/S, explains:
“Kingspan is developing building materials for future generations and this fits Troldtekt perfectly. We bring along a wood and cement-based product that improves the indoor climate and is free from harmful chemicals so it can be part of a circular economy. With Kingspan behind us, we now want to expand our products to new markets. This also means that we will be launching a number of development initiatives based on Cradle to Cradle principles and, not least, Kingspan’s sustainability programme, Planet Passionate, which you can read more about in this report.
