Sustainability

Sustainability

The climate emergency means we must challenge existing business models to achieve a sustainable future for everyone on our planet.  Vetrotech is leading the industry in the design and manufacture of sustainable fire-rated and high-security glazed solutions. 

Protecting what’s important

At Vetrotech, we believe that safety comes first. And that sustainability is a natural part of that effort. That’s why we have implemented verifiable footprint-minimizing practices throughout the organization, re-invigorated our innovation focus on sustainable products and processes, and publicly declared ambitious net zero carbon goals. It’s why we’ve embraced a leadership role in influencing healthy building policies in countries around the world. And why everything we do we do with full transparency—because true sustainability has nothing to hide. Protecting people and property is what we do with care and pride, and with an acute sense of our social responsibilities. If we’re going to build a sustainable future together, it has to start with integrity, ambition and the best of intentions—from people who care about each one of us, and the future of all.

Our sustainability pillars & roadmap

Vetrotech is implementing sustainable practices across our operations and through our supply chain in as many ways as we can. Discover them through our four pillars. 

Aiming for true net zero

Vetrotech has always been on the safe side, and our uncompromising dedication to safety naturally extends to our environmental responsibility.

Integrity is in the details

Credibility is a product of trust, and trust requires transparency. That’s why Vetrotech is leading an industry push to transparency in sustainability activities—starting with our own efforts.

Innovating smarter ways forward

The Vetrotech innovation focus is on working towards a circular business model that reduces virgin material use and waste, and avoids landfills if at all possible through reuse and recycling.

Our life’s work

Safety and sustainability are part of the same conversation—an uncompromising approach to safety is impossible if it doesn’t also include action for the well-being of communities and the environment.
