Corporate responsibility

Part of the driving force behind our desire to increase levels of sustainability is our concern for the environment around us, our community. It is important to us that, no matter where in the world we are located, we play our part in our local communities. This is best illustrated through the voices of our people and our neighbours.

‘We’ve lived here for 45 years. We’ve raised 4 children here. We’ve been very happy here, haven’t we? We’ve loved this house and always have loved it, even though it is right next door to the factory.’

Audrey & Norman Cotton, local residents, St. Helens, UK

‘The support Knauf Insulation offers to the town is enormous. Sports, culture, financial support to save historical monuments, children’s playgrounds, the kindergarten in Sobechleby, the stadium and so on.’

‘… as soon as there is the smallest problem, Knauf Insulation wishes to resolve it. And we are very pleased about this, as it is somewhat different from how we imagined the large company would be – after all, we should not forget that Knauf Insulation is an enormous company with a presence almost everywhere in the world. Now it has a human face, we are especially happy about this, and here in Vise it has truly become an essential part of the town.’

Marcel Nevern, Mayor, Vise, Belgium

‘To have a successful community you have to respect each other, know and understand each other and be able to offer support to each other. By doing that, business can be successful, residents can be successful, a whole town can be successful. And that’s how we view business and Knauf Insulation is a very committed, strong partner.’

Marie Rimmer, CBE, Councillor, St. Helens, UK
