Kingspan, the global leader in high-performance insulation and building envelope solutions, has reached the midpoint of its 2030 Planet Passionate targets, reporting a reduction of more than 2.8 million tonnes of CO?e since 20201 - equivalent to over 7 million return flights between Ireland and France2.
Launched in 2020, the global programme, Planet Passionate sets clear targets across four focus areas: carbon, energy, circularity and water to further support the transition to a net zero emissions built environment.
The company's sixth annual report details the progress delivered across its global operations, supply chain and partnerships to date.
As a result of the success of the programme, Kingspan was named as a finalist of the 2026 Business & Finance ESG Awards, in association with Grant Thornton.
The awards recognises excellence and impact across Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives.
The winners will be revealed at a ceremony tonight at the Mansion House in Dublin.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Bianca Wong of Kingspan said: "Planet Passionate is a long term commitment that supports our mission to accelerate a net zero emissions built environment, with people and planet at its heart. While we are delighted with the progress to date, our focus remains firmly on the work ahead."
