An efficient and affordable Europe starts with energy renovations
With Europe’s building stock responsible for 36% of the continent’s CO2 and 40% of its energy use, energy efficient building renovations are a Member State’s ticket to achieving the 55% reduction in emissions that the EU requires by 2030. This is particularly true for Central and Eastern European countries where, according to the EU Building Stock Observatory, there are 43.6 million single- and multi-family homes – not to mention thousands of schools, hospitals, and office buildings. As two-thirds of these homes were built over 30 years ago, many have leaking windows, walls and…

Unlock the Power of Insulation
At ROCKWOOL we emphasize our commitment to sustainability and climate care though various initiatives aimed at reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Our insulation products are designed to significantly enhance energy efficiency in buildings. By improving thermal performance, our stone wool products can reduce energy needs for heating and cooling by up to 70-90%, allowing buildings to save more energy than what is consumed during the insulation’s production within just a few months. The stone wool insulation sold in 2023 is projected to save over 818 TWh…

Endorse Connected Lighting for the Brighter Future
Signify, the world leader in lighting, has an important role to play in the global transition to net zero. Climate action has been central to Signify’s sustainability strategy for more than a decade. We have taken the lead in helping municipalities, businesses, and consumers switch to energy-efficient LED and connected LED lighting— a fast and effective way to make progress toward sustainability goals. For example, switching all light points in Hungary to connected LED could reduce CO2e emissions by 0.7 Mt and free up 3 TWh of electricity annually, equivalent to the annual energy…
Engaging Retail Lenders in Home Renovations
Join us online or in-person in Brussels at Rondpoint Robert Schuman 6! Europe is in a race to achieve independence from foreign energy sources, alleviate its citizens from rising energy prices, and to meet its ambitious climate targets. Consuming 42% of energy and being responsible for over one third of energy-related GHG emissions, the decarbonisation of the buildings in the EU is essential to achieve this. How can we identify which buildings to renovate? How can we provide access to low cost, long-term financing for deep renovations across Europe? Having business…
