Corporate Social Responsibility

For many years, the Rockwool Group has been known for its strong social commitment. The company’s social vision and values are stated in its Social Charter. The close involvement of the Rockwool Foundation in scientific analysis related to the current problems faced by modern society emphasizes that social responsibility is a central part of the Rockwool culture.

The Rockwool Group has always been managed on the basis of strong values stimulating trustworthy and decent behaviour of the company and its employees. This has over the years resulted in the development of a number of specific and operational policies, manuals and instructions as well as implementation of monitoring and auditing processes of some aspects.

Good performance

For 2009, the Rockwool Group publishes a mandatory report on Corporate Social Responsibility, according to the Danish Financial Statements Act, Art. 99a. The report gives an overview of the company’s performance within the four central areas of corporate social responsibility (CSR): Human rights, labour standards, environment and anticorruption.

The general conclusion of the report is that the Rockwool Group is performing well in all the addressed areas and that it is maintaining the necessary internal and external dialogue on these issues in the Group’s day-to-day operations. The Group supports the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Chamber of Commerce’s Business Charter for Sustainable Development and has in other areas developed its own policies and procedures which assure implementation and adherence to good corporate social responsibility throughout the company.

Continues to monitor initiatives

In the environmental area in particular, the Group has long experience and over the years has developed an extensive system for managing and auditing production processes and assuring that all environmental regulations and standards are met or exceeded. The company was among the front-runners in the industry when 15 years ago it published its first dedicated environmental report covering all factories.

In the CSR report, the Rockwool Group states that the company considers its CSR performance satisfactory and intends to maintain this position. The Group will continue to monitor its performance to ensure that initiatives meet internal and external requirements.
