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, fire protection is built into the material itself, not dependent on chemical flame retardants. Stone wool withstands temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees Celsius, it’s durable, and has been found to retain its fire performance for at least 65 years.1
ROCKWOOL’s technical and building insulation products achieve the top fire performance Euroclass Reaction to Fire Classification, either A1or A2-s1, d0.
ROCKWOOL stone wool is highly durable and long-lasting. Our 2023 testing of 65-year-old insulation recovered from Copenhagen airport proved that stone wool retains its thermal, fire, and acoustic performance over decades—meaning sustained energy savings and comfort with minimal maintenance.*
ROCKWOOL building insulation sold in 2025 is expected to save almost 100 times the energy used to produce it.2
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.2
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.
Collaboration is key to our sustainability work. To name a few:
One Ocean Foundation
In 2022, ROCKWOOL has joined forces with One Ocean Foundation in a multi-year global scientific partnership focused on accelerating solutions to protect and regenerate our ocean.
ROCKWOOL Denmark SailGP team collaborates with One Ocean Foundation with the objective to analyse, track and reduce the carbon and plastic footprint of team operations as part of SailGP’s Impact League initiative.
Circular Economy
Supported by Circle Economy Consulting, ROCKWOOL has developed a set of circularity KPIs to not only support disclosure in relation to CSRD and the EU Taxonomy, but also to help drive the transition along every step of the value chain. Circle Economy Consulting has developed an indicator dashboard for ROCKWOOL to measure its efforts against applying to different steps of the value chain: Circular materials, Circular use and Circular end-of-life.
