We transform volcanic rock into stone wool and our products contribute to address many of society’s biggest climate change challenges, creating new opportunities to enrich modern living and build safer, healthier, and more climate resilient communities.
Indeed, stone wool is a versatile natural material with multiple benefits that makes it ideal for applications in buildings, industry, transportation, horticulture, and water management.
Stone wool is non-combustible, with built-in fire protection that is not dependent on chemical flame retardants. Stone wool withstands temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees Celsius, it’s durable, and retains its fire performance during its working life.
ROCKWOOL’s technical and building insulation products achieve the top fire performance Euroclass Reaction to Fire Classification, either A1or A2-s1, d0.
ROCKWOOL is durable and does not change over time. Meaning our materials last throughout generations without loss of performance, while retaining its fire, thermal and acoustics properties – helping ensure continued energy savings and comfort over decades.
ROCKWOOL building insulation sold in 2025 is expected to save almost 100 times the energy used to produce it.
ROCKWOOL building insulation sold in 2025 is expected to save 495 TWh of energy over its lifetime – close to the equivalent to the 2025 electricity consumption of France, population of 68M.
ROCKWOOL has a critical role to play in the renovation wave and we are ready to act.
Discover how our Group Sustainability Statement provides a holistic view of how ROCKWOOL's products can support communities and increase our positive impact through new initiatives while reducing our negative environmental impact.
Our aim is to turn sustainable development challenges into business opportunities by developing innovative, safe products that address some of the most significant societal challenges of our time. As a durable, recyclable, non-combustible, and versatile material, stone wool forms the basis of our business. Sustainability is the foundation that underpins the ROCKWOOL business model and value chain.
Since 2016, ROCKWOOL has been aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) framework. Drawing on extensive consultation with both internal and external stakeholders, we have prioritised 10 of the 17 SDGs. This was confirmed by the double materiality assessment. Gender equality (SDG 5) and Peace, justice and strong institutions (SDG 16) were added in 2024. We have targets related to gender equity and a target for the ratio of active employees in at-risk functions who received Code of Conduct training.
