Building Momentum: VELUX Highlights Progress Across Key Sustainability Areas in 2025
The VELUX Group today released its Sustainability Report 2025, highlighting steady operational improvements and continued progress on circularity, biodiversity and responsible business practices, while laying the groundwork for future emissions reductions.
In 2025, VELUX maintained its long-term commitment to lowering emissions across its value chain. The company strengthened the foundations needed for future progress through improved data, clearer supplier requirements and practical changes in production and logistics. VELUX has reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 60% and Scope 3 emissions by 14% since 2020.
I'm proud of the progress we’ve made, and also aware there’s still plenty of work ahead. Our new four-year strategy, ReGenerate, will keep sustainability at the heart of what we do while also delivering value to our customers. This year’s report provides a snapshot of our performance and highlights how VELUX is working to make a difference for our customers, our teams and the planet.
Highlights from the 2025 Sustainability Report include:
- Continued progress on circularity
We continued to strengthen circularity across our value chain by embedding circular design principles into product development, expanding pilot projects and strengthening collaboration with industry partners to keep materials in use for longer.
- Demonstrating low-carbon building
We opened the LKR Innovation House in Denmark and continued to develop the Living Places concept across Europe, demonstrating practical ways to reduce building-related emissions and improve indoor health and well-being.
- Advancing biodiversity work
We expanded our biodiversity assessments across more sites, implemented nature-oriented initiatives, and fostered greater employee engagement around the positive effects of nature.
- Decarbonising our products
We developed a next-generation roller shutter that integrates innovative design and performance improvements with decarbonisation for an estimated carbon footprint reduction of approximately 40% per unit compared with our previous model.
- Improved safety performance
We achieved meaningful progress in our safety performance as total work-related accidents decreased, resulting in a 35.7% improvement compared with 2024
