Planet Passionate is Kingspan’s ambitious 10 year global sustainability programme which aims to impact three global issues: Climate change, Circularity & Protection of our natural world. A key area of this programme was to achieve Net Zero Energy for our operations through a mix of energy reduction, on-site renewable energy generation and procurement of certified renewable energy.
Since January 2022, at our Somerton site where we produce Kooltherm high performance insulation range we have been purchasing ‘green’ electricity and gas from our energy supplier, Origin Energy. This now completes our commitment to our Net Zero Energy Journey.
By purchasing the 100% carbon Neutral electricity and gas from Origin, we offset the relevant greenhouse gas emissions associated with our consumption through a range of credible and certified offsets sources local and internationally which are certified by Climate Active (1), an initiative backed by the Australian government.
