2015 Environmental Management standard at its factory and headquarters in Lyngdal, Norway, marking the company’s continued commitment to sustainability. The internationally accepted ISO 14001 standard outlines the most

Speaking about the achievement, Gunnar Gabrielsen, Head of

industries to be environmentally conscious. For us, we are constantly working to become even greener, more sustainable and to reduce our factory’s impact on the
environment. It’s a never-ending journey - there’s always improvements to be made - but our achievement of ISO 14001 is an important milestone.” Achieving the ISO 14001 certification is testament to Fibo’s
commitment to employing sustainable practices, such as reducing its plastic use by 50% since 2018, re-using wood waste to heat buildings and plants on site and investing in new factory machinery to help improve its energy efficiency. Manufactured with a birch plywood core, Fibo’s range of waterproof
wall panels are inherently an eco-friendly product, with all the timber either PEFC or FSC certified.
