Why sustainability matters
We have a common challenge globally. Climate change is one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing society. The warming of the earth system is considered un- equivocal 1 , and it is human behaviour that has created this planetary threat. In Europe, the building sector is one of the major emitters of greenhouse gases. The overall 2030 EU target for a decrease in CO 2 emissions and the long-term 2050 climate neutrality objective cannot be achieved if emissions from buildings are not ad- dressed quickly and deeply. At DOVISTA, we have the opportunity and obliga- tion to help solve this challenge. We provide the European market with vertical windows and exterior doors for the sustainable built environment. With the application of our products, both the renovation and new-building sectors can adjust solar gain to building
requirements, reduce condensation and prevent air leakage, while letting daylight and fresh air into peo- ple’s everyday lives. This improves the comfort of an indoor environment, while importantly reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. “We see this as one of the most exciting traditional industries to be in. According to Bill Gates, a city equivalent to the size of New York will be built every month over the next decade. This is a lot of buildings – hopefully a lot of DOVISTA windows and doors – and means that the methods we use to build them truly matter. This gives us the opportunity to play a key role in driving a better, more sustainable future for generations to come.” Nicolas Casanovas, CCO
