BUSINESS & STR ATEGIC REP ORT
Our values have always been
the foundation of our strategy
and are fundamental to how
we do business and interact
with each other.
Our
Values
OUR BELIEF
OUR CULTURE AND VALUES
CODE OF CONDUCT
Historically, construction has taken
from nature with little consideration
given to the finite resources available.
Buildings were constructed without
contemplating how they might
impact future generations. We believe
the buildings of the future need
to deliver more than ever before.
They must combat climate change by
maximising energy efficiency through
superior thermal performance while
incorporating products that are
lower in embodied carbon across
their entire lifecycle. Using less
energy is not enough; buildings
should generate their own energy
too. Buildings should be healthy and
inspirational, optimising the benefits
of daylight and fresh, clean air. They
should be designed, constructed and
operated to protect natural resources
and conserve water as much as
possible. Above all they must be safe,
protecting people and property from
fire and other natural hazards.
Kingspan has grown from a family
business and many of the values
associated with family businesses form
the backbone of our culture today.
The business has been built on trust
in the integrity of our people and of
our offering. We value this trust and
recognise it as being fundamental
to our ongoing success. We are
entrepreneurial, collaborative, honest,
and we stand behind a common cause
– better buildings for a better world.
Kingspan expects the highest
standards of integrity, honesty
and compliance with the law from
our employees, our directors and
our partners globally. We actively
encourage our employees to speak
out if they experience instances that
are not in keeping with the principles
outlined in our Code of Conduct.
We are innovative. We are the market
leader in the field of high-performance
building envelope solutions, which
ensure lifetime carbon and resource
savings. We have gained this position
through a creative and solutions
driven mindset, which continues to
inform our innovation agenda today.
We think long-term. The strategy
of the business is driven by longterm ambitions and not by quarterly
performance. The success of this
strategy can be seen in our long-term
growth. This ethos is apparent in
our multi-year commitments such
as our 10-year Planet Passionate
programme which will drive real,
positive, impact for the environment
and forms a common goal across
the business globally.
