Sustainability

We strive to make an important contribution to a more sustainable world through our operations, products and culture.

A measurable commitment

With the conviction that true progress is only possible when we act responsibly towards our planet and its people, we have created our own Sustainability model based on three pillars: what we produce (impacts related to the product), how we produce (impacts related to business processes), and our culture (impacts for our company, local communities and society at large).

In line with these three pillars, we have adopted a detailed roadmap that defines the company’s sustainability goals and action plans until 2030. Our ambition is to help our customers protect the planet, promote circularity and create safer and more inclusive communities.

We intend to significantly improve our environmental performance by reducing energy and water consumption as well as waste generation. Our commitment to sustainability is continuous and evolving.

Sustainable operations

Our ambition is to transform our health, safety and environmental performance through operational excellence. Our policy sets the framework for our businesses to establish their local procedures for managing the environment.

Sustainable solutions

Our ambition is to offer more innovative products and services to help our customers reach net zero, promote circularity and create safer, more inclusive communities.

Sustainable culture

Our ambition is to be recognised as an employer that people want to work for. We are committed to inspiring, growing and investing in people to ensure they feel engaged and satisfied in their work.

Sustainable Operations

To reduce our environmental impact in line with the Group's stated goals, we implement extensive business-level action plans. The usage of materials, including the principles of reduce, re-use, and recycle, as well as ongoing energy and water efficiency programs, are some of the topics covered by these policies and management systems. Moreover, we look for external certification in accordance with global environmental standards.

Sustainable Solutions

The need for more energy-efficient windows and doors is rising in response to stringent construction codes and net zero objectives. Demand for energy-saving sealing and adaption solutions, such as extreme weather protection items, will rise as society moves toward a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. The micro ventilation solutions and the PU foam seals are examples of our contribution to the window’s energy saving. With the use of window hardware that is simple for elderly and disabled people to operate, our security products have been shown to lower community crime rates, avoid injuries, and encourage more inclusive living for vulnerable populations in residential care and at home.

Sustainable Culture

Through cross-divisional cooperation and the use of best practices via the Tyman Excellence System, our culture enables us to develop as a team. To ensure that our employees are motivated and involved in their job, we are committed to inspiring, developing, and investing in them. Diverse talent may contribute and help create long-term value for our business, local communities, and wider society thanks to training and development programs.
