meets the needs of the present generation without
compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs Brundtland Report 1987 In
other words.

Energy performance of buildings directive - UK

• All buildings to require Energy Performance
  Certificates by January 2009
• Also Display Energy Certifiactes for Public
  Buildings by January 2009
• This will rate buildings based on their energy
  performance

Likely to have profoundeffect on
commercialProperty sector Prof David Strong.

Kingspan panels vision

• To be a global leader in sustainable business
  and establish a leading position in providing
  sustainable, renewable and affordable solutions
  for the construction sector.

7 long term sustainability objectives

• Sustainable Product Stewardship
• Carbon management beyond carbon neutral
• Optimise use of resources
• Sustainable building design
• Ethical procurement supply chain management.
• Stakeholder engagement
• Social responsibility.

6
Progress to date

• Carbon foot printing and carbon management system
  being implemented for whole business.
• Independent energy audits undertaken at all
  sites.
• 300 personnel trained on environmental /
  sustainability issues so far. Process ongoing
• Wind energy being investigated at Holywell
  Sherburn. Planning applications progressing.
• CHP being investigated at Kingscourt wind not
  currently viable.

7
Management Standards

• Kingspan Holywell is certified to
• ISO 14001 - Environmental Management System
  Standard
• OHAS 18001 - Health Safety Standard
• ISO 9001 - Quality Management System

Carbon Trust- Energy Reductions

• Carrying out recommendations of compressed air
  survey has resulted in a saving of 14,000 per
  annum at Holywell.
• 120 tonnes of CO2 emissions
• Projects involved in restructuring our heating
  and lighting systems i.e. switching to
  energy-saving lighting will save approx. 50,000
  this year.
• 430 tonnes of CO2 emissions
• Recently launched our employee Energy Awareness
  handbook.

• Report follows GlobalReporting
  InitiativeGuidelines.
• Our second annual reportpublished in June 2008.
• Holland Belgium to be included in 2008 report

End-of-life Management of Kingspan
Insulated Panels
11
End-of-life Management

• All currently produced Kingspan insulated panels
  are classed as non-hazardous and do not contain
  CFCs or HCFCs.
• Kingspan insulated panels have a commercial value
  for disposal at end of life subject to transport
  costs.
• Shredder plants offer a proven solution for
  dealing with insulated panels with non-ozone
  depleting blowing agents which can be safely
  processed as a co-feed with other scrap
  materials.
• The cost of processing panels through shredder
  plants is approximately cost neutral with the
  transport costs from site being covered by the
  scrap value of the steel.

12
Recycling

• Kingspan has done successful trials in putting
  granulated insulation core back into virgin
  product.
• Currently being implemented in Kingscourt. Roll
  out to Holywell later this year.
• Future potential for Cradle to cradle rather than
  cradle to grave.

Kingspan ECOsafe insulated panels
14
Kingspan ECOsafe insulated panels

• Kingspan insulated panels use an
  improved environmentally sustainable firesafe PIR
  insulation core.
• Kingspan Ecosafe insulated panels are the result
  of extensive research and development work to
  provide an optimised and sustainable solution for
  our customers.

15
Benefits of ECOsafe Panels

• LPCB certified.
• Low GWP (Global Warming Potential).
• Optimum performance in environmental assessment
  methods such as BREEAM.
• Specific Kingspan Ecosafe insulated panel systems
  are independently audited and certified by BRE as
  Green Guide A Rated.
• Commercial value for disposal at end of life
  subject to transport costs.
• No other panel manufacturer can provide the
  unique combination of LPCB approval, low GWP,
  Environmental profiling, BREEAM Credits and cost
  neutral disposal costs.

16
BRE Environmental Profiles

• Quantified embodied environmental performance
• All associated embodied impacts of a product

  9001 certified manufacturing processes
• Audited A rated BRE environmental profile data
  unique in metal cladding sector.
• Kingspan helps deliver credits for BREEAM
  Assessments.
• Cost neutral end of life management at present
  progress being made to recycle insulation to
  achieve full cradle to cradle recyclability.
