Sustainability becomes a new lifestyle

Sustainable purchasing behaviour is playing an increasingly important role among consumers. 81% said they pay attention to sustainability when shopping (2019). This is the conclusion of a study by the auditing company KPMG and IFH Cologne: "Sustainability is part of the reality of our lives and will fundamentally change the economy and society. Because people have understood that there are no unlimited resources in this world..." explains Stephan Fetsch, KPMG partner and Head of Consumer Goods.

Pioneer in sustainability & health

Known as an ecological pioneer, elka-Holzwerke has been offering an above-average quality standard for decades with its environmentally compatible, energy-efficient branded products. High-quality, low-emission product lines are the spruce fresh wood boards of esb Standard & esb PLUS, the latter with formaldehyde values below 0.03 ppm, as well as the natural wood board vita. They guarantee problem-free recyclability, dismantling and reusability. A special, easy-to-process MUF glue without isocyanates also characterises the entire product range.

DGNB Navigator

Building products make a significant contribution to the sustainability of a building. Through their environmental impact, such as pollutant emissions or energy consumption during production and operation, their life cycle costs, which are significantly influenced by inspection and maintenance costs or cleaning effort, for example, and their impact on user comfort, they contribute significantly to the overall performance of a building. With the DGNB Navigator, we have developed a unique tool that supports all those involved in the product selection process - from manufacturers to architects, planners, investors and craftsmen to auditors - and provides the necessary transparency of information [to the Navigator].
