Corporate and social responsibility

• Rockwool is a business that has a strong sense of being part of a local community
• This translates into having a responsibility and an obligation to that community

The Rockwool Foundation

This conviction to society and the environment started in the 1950s and came along long before CSR became fashionable, and is at the core of the Rockwool Group values.

Established in 1981 by the founding Kahler family, the Rockwool Foundation is a non-profit organisation with the objective of supporting scientific, humanitarian, artistic or social goals and contributing to the improvement of the environment and the general development of society.  As a result the Rockwool Foundation has been the largest single shareholder in the company for the past 27 years.

Today the Rockwool Foundation research unit is probably Denmark’s most respected non-political think tank for social and economic studies. These studies, for example, on the efficiencies and inefficiencies of the health care system, are used actively by governments on both sides of the political spectrum to make a better society.
