Sustainability framework

Science Based Targets Initiative

Inwido's science-based target has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, which means that we are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thereby contribute to the Paris Agreement's 1.5 degree goal.

We have committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 42 percent by 2030 compared to the 2022 base year, and to reducing absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent during the same time period. In addition, Inwido has undertaken to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1, 2 and 3 by 2050.

EU-Taxonomy

Buildings are the largest energy consumers in the EU, with 40 percent usage. Energy-efficient windows and doors are an important component in achieving climate goals. Energy requirement, stated as U-value, is 1.0 for windows and 1.2 for doors.

In 2024, 62 percent of Inwido's sales fulfilled the criteria of significantly contribute to climate change mitigation. 15 percent of sales are fully aligned with the EU taxonomy criteria.
