AUSTRIA – Egger, a major global producer of wooden panels, is dedicated to achieving a “Net Zero” target by 2025, aiming to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain through extensive measures and investments.
Moreover, Egger is investing approximately EUR 80 million in a renewable energy power plant at its main facility in St. Johann in Tirol. This facility will utilize biogenic fuels to generate heat and electricity for Egger’s production processes, significantly reducing fossil fuel usage on-site and providing more sustainable heating for surrounding communities. Scheduled for operation in the first quarter of 2026, this project will substantially increase Egger’s self-sufficiency in electricity production at the St. Johann in Tirol plant.
Additionally, Egger is enhancing sustainability in its production by sourcing binding agents from its own CO2-neutral glue factories in Wismar (DE), Radauti (RO), and Hexham (UK), which have transitioned to using electricity from renewable sources since January 1, 2024.
