The use of wood as a building material helps to reduce the greenhouse gas footprint of the emissions-intensive construction sector. In the production of doors and casings, we consciously rely on the natural, regionally available and renewable raw material wood.
Growth and CO₂ binding
As it grows, wood absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere and truses it in its biomass. Between 0.7 and 0.9 tons of CO2 per cubic metre of wood are saved in this way.
Timber harvesting and reforestation
In responsible forestry, as many trees are felled as are planted, which ensures the long-term security of our forests. As they grow, young trees have an even greater capacity to save CO2 than old trees.
Product and CO₂ storage
As long as the wood product exists, the stored CO2 remains bound.
Well-being
Wood in interiors contributes to a healthy indoor climate and can have a calming effect.
Circulatory capability
Wood can be used several times. If material reuse is no longer possible, it can be used to generate energy.
Certifications
The sustainable use of forests and wood as a raw material requires responsible management and procurement methods. To ensure this, miscellaneous of our companies are FSC® and PEFC certified. Climate change and its consequences, such as extreme weather events and pest infestations, have a negative impact on forests, which is why their protection and maintenance is of great importance.
Supporting the "Holz rettet Klima" initiative
The German Timber Industry Council (DHWR) has launched the "Wood saves the climate" initiative to promote the use of wood from sustainable forestry. We share this goal and are committed to raising awareness of the role of wood in climate protection. "Wood saves the climate" highlights the importance of sustainable management of ourCO2-storing forests and the contribution that wood as a raw material makes to climate protection.
