The Sustainable Choice
At Fibo, environmentally responsible production is an absolute priority. As such, we actively promote sustainable practices that help minimize resource and material consumption. Additionally, we exclusively work with suppliers who adhere to our recycling standards at every level. Our dedication to sustainability is evident in all aspects of our business.
Low CO2 emissions
In 2022 an independent report by building consultants, Asplan Viak, showed that from a cradle-to-grave perspective, Fibo has a carbon footprint that is as much as 45% lower than tiles. Read more about that here.
By the year 2100, the earth will be inhabited by over 11 billion people
To accommodate everyone, we will need more than 2 billion new housings. This means that we have to build smarter, more efficiently and much more sustainable.
Using the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the SDGs, as our strategic framework, we have chosen a set of goals where we can commit as a company.

LEED-points
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is an internationally recognized green building certification system, which verifies that a building was designed to improve performance across metrics such as energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources. LEED also offers building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions.
Environmental Declaration
Fibo has an EPD, (Environmental Product Declaration). An EPD is an independent, verified environmental declaration that provides consumers with comparable information on the environmental impact of different products from a life cycle perspective. The EPD is based on the principles and rules that apply in the international standard ISO 14025, and has broad international acceptance. Fibo’s EPD can also be used by building contractors when new buildings are to be certified in accordance with BREEAM. Find the EPD on this page.
