CERTIFIED SUSTAINABILITY

More than one-third of global CO₂ emissions can be attributed to the construction and operation of buildings. The leverage for reducing emissions is particularly significant here. Geberit products and systems can help achieve building certification. 

Sanitary products are some of many elements in a building as a whole and only make up part of the ecological footprint. Nevertheless, Geberit products can still help to fulfil certified building standards such as LEED, BREEAM and DGNB.

Geberit’s contribution to certification

Certificates for sustainable construction are now commonplace worldwide, providing transparency and orientation with regard to the ecological assessment of buildings. The most widespread global labels are LEED, BREEAM and DGNB.

Geberit has established itself as a reliable partner with its extensive range of innovative sanitary solutions. Geberit’s water efficiency solutions in particular can help to obtain a certificate for a building.
 

Environmental product declarations

Environmental product declarations (EPD) create transparency and enable the comparison of products in terms of their environmental impacts. As a result, they are an important source of information for building owners, investors, business partners and other decision makers. They play an increasingly important role in building certifications because construction products with an EPD facilitate the ecological assessment of a building. Products with an EPD account for around 44% of Group sales.
