Sustainable Operations

To reduce our environmental impact in line with the Group's stated goals, we implement extensive business-level action plans. The usage of materials, including the principles of reduce, re-use, and recycle, as well as ongoing energy and water efficiency programs, are some of the topics covered by these policies and management systems. Moreover, we look for external certification in accordance with global environmental standards.

Sustainable Solutions

The need for more energy-efficient windows and doors is rising in response to stringent construction codes and net zero objectives. Demand for energy-saving sealing and adaption solutions, such as extreme weather protection items, will rise as society moves toward a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy. The micro ventilation solutions and the PU foam seals are examples of our contribution to the window’s energy saving. With the use of window hardware that is simple for elderly and disabled people to operate, our security products have been shown to lower community crime rates, avoid injuries, and encourage more inclusive living for vulnerable populations in residential care and at home.

Sustainable Culture

Through cross-divisional cooperation and the use of best practices via the Tyman Excellence System, our culture enables us to develop as a team. To ensure that our employees are motivated and involved in their job, we are committed to inspiring, developing, and investing in them. Diverse talent may contribute and help create long-term value for our business, local communities, and wider society thanks to training and development programs.
