Occasional information, Brussels, 28/05/2026 — 10:30 CET, 28.05.2026

Recticel Group has been included for the first time in the Financial Times list of Europe’s Climate Leaders, ranking 89th among 600 European companies recognised for their progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensity.

Within the Construction & Building Materials sector, Recticel Group is ranked 10th out of 48 companies represented. This strong performance underscores the Group’s commitment to future-smart insulation and its ongoing efforts to support the transition towards a more energy-efficient, lower-carbon built environment.

The annual list of Europe’s Climate Leaders is compiled by the Financial Times in collaboration with data provider Statista. The list highlights European companies that have achieved the greatest reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity over a five-year assessment period. Companies are also evaluated on their sustainability reporting, qualitative disclosure of Scope 3 emissions and alignment with recognised climate initiatives and frameworks.

Reducing the carbon footprint is one of the six strategic pillars of ELEVATE 2030, Recticel Group’s blueprint for value-added growth. The Group reached a major milestone in its sustainability journey with the commissioning of its EUR 13 million industrial-scale recycled polyol plant in Belgium, announced on 13 May 2026. The facility will convert 4,000 tonnes of post-production polyurethane waste into high-quality recycled polyol for the closed-loop manufacturing of new insulation boards, significantly reducing the product’s carbon footprint.
