From the ground up: Building a Net Positive Future

For global construction, sustainability is a top priority. Net Zero targets are now being tabled in almost every construction boardroom as organisations attempt to tackle direct CO2 emissions and those associated with building material production. But faced with the urgency of the climate change challenge, it’s vital we prioritise sustainable action, taking sustainable construction from the boardroom to the ground. That’s why, at Orbia Building & Infrastructure (Wavin), we’re developing innovative solutions and collaborative partnerships that lay the foundations for a greener construction industry. With a focus on measurable change and sustainability in action, our global program is centred around four key areas:  

    Sustainability

    Sustainable solutions
    Environmental Impact
    Circular Economy
    Social Inclusion

    Sustainable solutions

    To accelerate progress to Net Zero the construction industry needs high-quality solutions that are also good for the planet. From urban climate resilience to environmentally friendly indoor climate solutions and products backed by Environmental Product Declarations, our suite of environmentally conscious products has been carefully developed to be best-in-market while minimising the carbon footprint of each build. Discover how our sustainable solutions can make your next project greener.

    Environmental impact

    Everyone in the construction industry has a responsibility to minimise the sector’s impact on the environment – from product selection to transportation to more sustainable building practices. To play our part, we’ve set ambitious global targets that focus on three key areas of environmental protection: emissions, waste and water. With initiatives underway across all our operations, we’re making strong progress to Net Zero. Explore the ways we’re contributing to an environmentally friendly construction industry.

    Circular economy

    Embracing a circular economy is vital for the construction industry to effectively safeguard our planet’s resources. To achieve this, we’re embracing the concept of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’, helping our customers to drive down their Scope 3 emissions and minimise the environmental impact of builds with a suite of sustainable products developed using circularity principles. Find out more about our bio-based, low-carbon and recyclable solutions.

    Social inclusion

    A sustainable future isn’t possible unless it’s inclusive - generating prosperity for all communities in a way that’s respectful of our shared natural environment. Whether its volunteering hours for Orbia B&I (Wavin) team members, local training programmes for plumbers or improving water quality for at-risk communities, we’re proud of the initiatives we’re running to build a more sustainable future for everyone.
