ENVIRONMENTAL
AGENDA

The environment and NorDan are on the same team. A responsible approach to environmental issues throughout the value chain ensures solutions with the least possible negative impact on the surroundings.

Longevity and energy efficiency

Two main factors determine how environmentally friendly a finished and installed window is: The expected lifespan of the product and to what degree it can contribute to reducing the buildings' total energy consumption by reducing either heating or cooling of the room through that lifespan. The NorDan product range offers solutions with leading energy performance and longevity to ensure that NorDan windows and doors contribute to a lesser environmental impact.

Responsibility through the value chain

The NorDan environmental approach is implemented throughout the value chain, from material suppliers to how the completed products are being transported to construction sites across Europe. Long-standing relations with leading suppliers ensure products and solutions that take the environmental factor into account. Our own strict production guidelines guarantee a conscious attitude towards the environment.

Aluminium - environmentally friendly material

In 2020, we started our journey towards environmentally friendly aluminium profiles used in the products we make. With Hydro CIRCAL R75 and REDUXA alloys, we greatly contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions. CIRCAL is based on at least 75% recycled post-consumer aluminium. REDUXA is based on aluminium produced by hydropower and new energy-reducing technology. For CIRCAL this means lower emissions of CO2 by 70% and for REDUXA 50% compared to the CO2 levels for average aluminium technologies in Europe.

Energy efficiency in production

In addition to producing sustainable products, we have renovated our factory and installed a solar plant on the roof of our administration building, which can supply up to 40% of our real-time electricity needs, contributing to a positive environmental impact. These measures not only increase the building’s energy efficiency but also provide electricity from a renewable source. We expect to self-produce up to 20% of our annual electricity consumption.

With increased focus towards sustainability, we contribute to saving the environment and lowering our impact. Respectful and sustainable interaction with the environment - one of NorDan’s “Perfekt Samspill” philosophy cornerstones.
