SUSTAINABILITY

Building better for people and the planet.

SUSTAINABILITY BUILT IN SINCE 2019

Since 2019, sustainability has been embedded in how Falkbuilt designs, manufactures, and delivers interiors. We take a transparent view of how we measure performance, manage risk, and continuously improve across our environmental, social, and governance priorities.

Our approach helps customers, employees, and partners understand how we identify and manage sustainability-related risks and opportunities while supporting responsible growth.

Environmental

Reducing waste, emissions, and material impact.

Social

Workforce stability, safety, training, and community engagement.

Governance

Accountability, oversight, transparency, and compliance.

ENVIRONMENT

BUILT TO REDUCE WASTE, NOT MANAGE IT LATER

The buildings and construction sector accounts for a large share of global energy use and a significant portion of global emissions. Much of that impact comes from how interiors are traditionally delivered — with high levels of waste, rework, and short product life cycles. Falkbuilt takes a different approach.

Through Digital Component Construction and our Echo technology platform, every component is digitally defined before production begins. This improves accuracy, reduces errors, and allows work to be completed in a controlled factory environment instead of on active sites.

How a digital, offsite approach lowers impact

Factory production reduces onsite waste, dust, and disruption.

Flat-packed components reduce freight volume and material handling.

Digital coordination supports faster delivery, with schedule reductions of up to 40% compared to conventional construction (depending on project scope and conditions).

Shorter schedules reduce temporary power use, equipment runtime, and overall site impact.

Components are designed to last and to be reconfigured rather than removed and replaced — spaces retain digital information so future changes can be planned accurately instead of relying on demolition and rework, reducing material waste over a building's life.

MATERIALS

PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY AND MATERIALS

We give customers clear, verified information about the environmental impact of our products so they can make informed material choices.

Falkbuilt holds Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its Kai and Lydia glass wall systems and the McNally Solid Wall. We continue to work with suppliers to increase recycled content and expand sustainability certifications across the product range. Longer product lifecycles reduce replacement, lowering waste and overall material demand — and the ability to repurpose components delivers environmental benefits while improving long-term value for clients.

Certifications & Standards

We point European and UK clients to the recognised standards relevant to our products and operations. The standards below are drafted for the European edition — each is subject to confirmation by The Torrington Group before publication, and any credential still in progress is labelled as such.

PRODUCT-LEVEL
EPD

Environmental Product Declarations to EN 15804 / ISO 14025 — the European benchmark for verified product impact.

EN 15804 STATUS — CONFIRM
Low-VOC

Indoor air emissions tested to EN 16516 — e.g. Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort, EMICODE, M1, French A+ or Blue Angel.

EU EQUIVALENT — CONFIRM
FSC / PEFC

Chain-of-custody certification for timber-based components, supporting responsible sourcing.

CONFIRM
Cradle to Cradle

Certification supporting our design-for-disassembly and circular-economy approach.

IN PROGRESS — CONFIRM
BUILDING RATING CONTRIBUTIONS
BREEAM Materials, waste, and indoor environmental quality credits (UK / Europe).
LEED Contributions across materials, waste, and indoor air quality.
WELL Ties to low-VOC finishes and our behavioural-health product line.
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
ISO 14001 Environmental management — reference where operations are certified.
ISO 45001 Occupational health & safety management.
ISO 9001 Quality management across design and production.

Packaging and Shipping

Flat-packed shipping reduces the number of shipments required, improves loading efficiency, and simplifies handling on site. We have replaced the foam previously used between cladding panels with a recyclable paper-based alternative, removing foam from the waste stream so that nearly all packaging arriving on site can be recycled (subject to local recycling programmes).

Waste Reduction and Recycling

Offsite manufacturing lets us control material use and recycling more effectively than conventional on-site construction. Factory recycling programmes divert metals, mixed materials, strapping, and offcuts from landfill, and our DuraFalk surface finish improves durability while helping reduce factory waste.

SOCIAL

OUR PEOPLE COME FIRST

Our people are central to how we work. We focus on workforce stability, safety, training, and community engagement — supporting advancement, inclusive teams, and fair pay.

GOVERNANCE

BUILT ON ACCOUNTABILITY

Strong governance supports long-term stability. Independent oversight, open communication, and consistent compliance practices help ensure we grow responsibly.

UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Falkbuilt aligns its priorities with the UN Sustainable Development Goals — focusing on gender equality and women in leadership, decent work and economic growth, industry innovation and infrastructure, sustainable cities and communities, and responsible production and consumption.
