Foreword from the Managing Director
Welcome to the Kingspan Insulation Ltd. Sustainability
& Responsibility Report for the calendar year 2014.
The report covers the UK business of Kingspan Insulation Ltd.,
which includes its headquarters at Pembridge, Herefordshire,
and a manufacturing site at Selby, North Yorkshire. It excludes
a third manufacturing site, at Basildon, Essex, which currently
falls outside the scope of this report.
This report was published to present an holistic picture of Kingspan Insulation Ltd.’s long–term
commitment to sustainability and responsibility in all of the company’s guises: as a manufacturer of
insulation products; as an employer; as a substantial landholder; and as a key member of its neighbouring communities.
Kingspan Insulation Ltd. has reported annually on its sustainability performance since 2004, and significant progress has been
made in improving the company’s performance over this time period.
Kingspan Insulation’s reporting embraces the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, to ensure a
more comprehensive approach to reporting. The G3 Guidelines provide a globally recognised framework for reporting on an
organisation’s economic, social and environmental performance.
Kingspan Insulation Ltd also undertakes an external assurance process, to ensure the accuracy and robustness of the data upon
which this report is based. Further information on the reporting methodology can be found in Appendix A.
The data and commentary in this report summarises Kingspan Insulation Ltd.’s journey since 2004, and highlights key achievements
from the calendar year 2014.
Although the global economy still poses many challenges Kingspan Insulation maintains strong financial performance and
profitability in the UK. New product development and a focus on manufacturing efficiencies has allowed Kingspan to compensate
from the reduction in scale economies.
Kingspan Insulation Ltd. maintains a strong commitment to sustainability and responsibility, and as such this report also sets out a
plan of action for continued progress in the coming 12 months.
