Taxonomie
ESG and taxonomy require clear information

Future security for investments

The façade is one of the relevant components when it comes to sustainability. With solutions from Schüco, planners can design a building that is well positioned for the future - and fulfils the requirements of ESG and taxonomy.

The relevant fields of action

ESG and taxonomy focus on strategic fields of action. The façade plays a role in three fields of action in particular, so that the respective requirements for a building can be met: Climate protection, adaptation to climate change and transition to a circular economy.

Klimaschutz

Climate protection

As part of the building envelope, Schüco solutions can influence the grey emissions of the façade (embodied carbon) and the CO₂ emissions during operation (operational carbon) of a property. The product portfolio includes optimised window and façade systems for energy-efficient buildings. If required, they can achieve the passive house standard. Schüco also provides smart building solutions. They make building operation even more efficient and further reduce the carbon footprint.

The grey emissions of a façade can also be reduced with Schüco - through the use of CO₂-optimised materials. With aluminium and PVC-U systems in particular, you can reduce the footprint not only through the design, but also through the choice of material.

Schüco also supports you with property-specific life cycle assessments to show the greenhouse gas potential of your planned property. Our design software makes it possible to precisely determine the grey emissions of the façade solution and report them for your building project.                                                

Kreislaufwirtschaft

Transition to a circular economy

Constructions from Schüco support the circular design of buildings. Whether aluminium, steel or PVC-U: all materials are recyclable. Many systems already contain a high proportion of recycled material. In addition, most of our constructions are very easy to dismantle and do not contain any harmful substances that hinder the subsequent recycling process. With 75 cradle-to-cradle certified systems, Schüco is a leader in the industry when it comes to the circular economy. Schüco solutions thus contribute to being well positioned for the taxonomy requirements of the circular economy.

Adaptation to climate change

When it comes to heavy rain, heat waves and storms, Schüco solutions offer proven security. The portfolio includes standard solutions that offer outstanding protection as well as customised solutions for the toughest requirements.

Schüco ESG board

Schüco aims to be a pioneer for sustainability in the construction industry with its products and services. With the establishment of a Schüco ESG Board, this path is now being consistently pursued with external expertise from science, business and politics. The company is thus strengthening its focus on holistic sustainability and its ecological and social responsibility.
