Protecting and preserving the environment

Our efforts are aimed at achieving long-term business growth while considering environmental, social and economic factors. Relevant business activities are guided by sustainability targets and ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria through established governance processes. Through its Sustainability Program 2023-2026, Wienerberger contributes to the transition towards a lower-carbon economy through initiatives in decarbonization, biodiversity, circularity, and water and waste management. Notably, our contribution to zero-emission buildings under the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and saving water are important elements where wienerberger is part of the solution.
