ROCKWOOL Group a first-mover using S&P Global’s Trucost SDG Evaluation Tool

At ROCKWOOL Group, we are in the privileged position of creating a more positive impact on the planet by selling more of our products. We nonetheless need to continue working hard to produce even better products and leaving a smaller environmental footprint in the process. That’s why we prioritise the 10 SDGs that are most strategically aligned with our business competencies and where we can have the greatest impact.

The Trucost SDG Evaluation Tool will provide ROCKWOOL Group with data-led insights to better understand our quantitative performance against the SDGs as well as help guide our efforts to achieve the greatest possible impact.

An update on our work with the 10 SDGs will be published in the ROCKWOOL Group’s annual sustainability report on 18 May.
