At FOG & VENØ A/S, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it's an ambition. We carefully weave environmental considerations into every step of our value chain, from concept to the final customer. Our focus on long-lasting, quality products, such as our elegant and timeless acoustic panels, reflects our dedication to intelligent and more sustainable solutions.
Our commitment to sustainability is certified through various channels. The use of FSC™ certified wood in our panels ensures responsible and environmentally conscious production. Collaboration with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel reinforces our dedication to minimizing waste and avoiding harmful chemicals. We actively engage with the UN's Global Goals and align our efforts with global initiatives for a better world.
At FOG & VENØ A/S, responsible consumption and production are not just ideals, but daily practices. Our stringent quality control ensures that only high-quality products reach our customers. In case of production errors, our commitment to repair and recycle materials demonstrates our dedication to minimizing waste and avoiding unnecessary resource use.
Recognizing the impact of plastic pollution on marine life, FOG & VENØ A/S contributes to a circular economy by recycling materials in our acoustic panels. The PET felt used in the panels, made from at least 50% recycled plastic bottles, is proof of our commitment to preserving life underwater. Furthermore, as an FSC™ certified company, we ensure that our wood panels help maintain a healthy balance in the world’s forests and terrestrial life.
The UN's SustainableDevelopment Goals
and the goals that FOG & VENØ
have chosen to focus on.
Effort
FOG & VENØ is actively working to reduce waste in production and ensure responsible materials.
Sub-targets
12.2: By 2030, achieve sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.
12.5: By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse.
12.6: Encourage companies, especially large and transnational ones, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycles.
Ambitions
Publication of annual climate accounts. We are dedicatedly working with the concept of the circular economy. We focus on identifying where the most energy and resource-intensive processes occur. We work to generate less waste and increase recycling, invest in renewable energy, and the company takes social responsibility.
Effort
The back of FOG & VENØ's acoustic panels is made from at least 50% recycled PET plastic.
Sub-target
14.1: By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, particularly from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution.
Ambitions
A significant portion of the acoustic panels we produce contains regenerated plastic waste. This reduces the amount of plastic waste in the ocean, while also reducing CO2 emissions in the production process, as processing plastic waste is less energy-intensive.
Effort
All of FOG & VENØ's wood purchases are FSC™-certified.
Sub-targets
15.1: By 2020, ensure the conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, particularly forests, wetlands, mountains, and drylands, in accordance with obligations under international agreements.
15.5: Take urgent and significant action to reduce the degradation of natural habitats, halt the loss of biodiversity, and by 2020, protect and prevent the extinction of threatened species.
Ambitions
Through our FSC certification, FOG & VENØ directly or indirectly contributes to 14 out of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, including 40 sub-targets. FSC’s certification requirements prevent deforestation and destruction of forests, protect biodiversity and ecosystem services, and ensure proper conditions for forest workers and good relations with local communities.
STRENGTHENING SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
FOG & VENØ A/S goes beyond products; we enhance sustainable documentation through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). By applying LCA, we support builders in achieving certifications such as DGNB, LEED, and BREEAM, thereby documenting how our products impact the environment throughout their lifespan.
Wood from Responsible Forestry
Our commitment to sustainability is certified through various channels. The use of FSC™ certified wood in our panels ensures responsible and environmentally conscious production.
ALLIANCE FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
Our partnership with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel and dedication to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals form a strong alliance. Our Swan-labelled products are more than just panels; they represent our vision of a more responsible and sustainable world.
