DANISH wood wool acoustic panel manufacturer Troldtekt’s ESG report for 2025 highlights positive initiatives for both the environment and people. Key highlights include an 18% reduction in Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) emissions per produced square metre, 98.8% renewable energy in production and fewer workplace accidents for the second consecutive year.
In 2025, through the use of renewable energy and new types of cement, Troldtekt A/S succeeded in producing each square metre of wood wool panel with an 18% lower CO2e footprint than in 2024. This was primarily achieved with the use of CO2e-reduced cement, which is reflected in Troldtekt’s new Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) from 2025.
“Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is the most important focus area for the construction industry when it comes to lowering its climate impact. We are therefore pleased to see that emissions have declined for both of the cement types we use. This has a direct impact on our customers’ CO2e accounts when they choose Troldtekt acoustic wood wool panels for their projects,” comments Cécile Vassort, head of product, marketing & sustainability at Troldtekt A/S.
Cécile Vassort also highlights that Troldtekt in 2025 increased its total use of renewable energy to a record 98.8%. The company installed its first solar panel system on the roof of its logistics centre in Troldhede, meaning that solar energy now complements the use of wind power and biomass in production.
Long-term focus pays off
The 2025 ESG report is the 16th since Troldtekt joined the UN Global Compact back in 2010. As a member, the company commits to documenting progress annually within corporate responsibility. This consistent focus is key to creating both value and a more competitive business, according to CEO Michael Heeager Nystrup.
“In a turbulent world with rising prices and pressure on supply chains, it can be tempting to prioritise the short-term and scale down ESG investments. However, through years marked by financial crisis, pandemic and other disruptions, we have learned that long-term ambitions pay off,” he comments. He further adds, “Focusing on climate and social responsibility is essential for the future of the planet — even when it is difficult. At the same time, our strategic approach to responsibility and ESG has had a significant impact on the growth we have experienced over the same period.”
Troldtekt forms part of the Kingspan Group whose global sustainability programme, Planet Passionate, sets ambitious targets within CO2e, energy, circularity and water across its companies in more than 80 countries.
Safety is the highest priority
ESG is about both the environment and people at Troldtekt, with employee safety the highest priority. New initiatives over the past few years range from courses and workshops on safe behaviour to regular factory inspections and systematic registration of key observations.
“The goal is zero workplace accidents, and although the number of accidents has decreased in both 2024 and 2025, we are not yet there. Changing behaviour takes time, so it is important that everyone continues to pause, observe and involve colleagues if they identify risks in production,” comments CEO Michael Heeager Nystrup.
