At VELFAC, sustainability has been at the heart of everything we do since 1965 – when our founder, VK Rasmussen, defined his vision of a model company: one that benefits society through responsible production and innovation.
For us, that means creating windows that bring in natural daylight and fresh air, improve wellbeing, and minimise environmental impact – today and for generations to come.
Sustainability is everyone’s concern
Research shows 78% of consumers consider sustainability an important factor when shopping – with top priorities including reducing waste, using ethical practices, and lowering carbon footprints.
Buying windows may differ from buying everyday products, but the same principles apply: responsible manufacturing, reduced impact, and long-term performance.
How we make a difference
Careful manufacturing
Precision cutting minimises waste, with residual wood and sawdust recycled or used to heat our factories.
Longer lifespan
VELFAC windows last 40+ years with proper care, helping reduce material waste and carbon impact.
More light
Slim frame profiles let in up to 15% more daylight, reducing the need for artificial light.
Responsible sourcing
All wood is FSC® certified, treatments are water-based, and two-thirds of our aluminium is produced using renewable energy – 40% from recycled sources.
Committed to real change
- Member of the UN Global Compact since 2016 – supporting human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption.
- Participant in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with a goal to reduce carbon emissions by 90% by 2050 (Scopes 1, 2 & 3).
- Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide transparent data to help customers calculate carbon footprints and make informed choices.
Designed for circularity
Every VELFAC window and door is made from wood, aluminium, and glass – designed for easy disassembly so materials can be reused or recycled.
Our products also support compliance with UK Building Regulations (Parts F, L, M4, and O) to help create energy-efficient and sustainable homes.
