About Kingspan’s Planet Passionate Sustainability Program
Planet Passionate is a transformative, 10-year global sustainability program initiated by Kingspan.

As part of Kingspan Light + Air, we firmly believe that advanced materials, innovative building systems and cutting-edge digital technologies can play pivotal roles in addressing these global issues, and we are committed to doing our part.
Building on Success
Planet Passionate draws inspiration from the achievements of our Net Zero Energy program, which we launched in 2011.

- Carbon: We are devoted to reducing our carbon footprint through energy-efficient practices and the adoption of renewable energy sources.
- Energy: Our aim is to maximize the use of renewable energy in our operations, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
