"A safe working environment requires the engagement of each individual as well as teamwork. That's why everyone at Knauf Insulation can and should speak up about safety when they see any risk at work, just as everyone deserves feedback — whether their behaviour is safe or not — from a colleague who cares about their well-being. In this way, we take care of ourselves and others and show in action one of the key Knauf values — Menschlichkeit (humanity)," said Dominique Bossan, Chief Executive Officer for Knauf Insulation Europe, Middle east, Asia-Pacific regions and member of the board of directors of the Knauf Group on the occasion of April 28, World Day safety and protection at work.
As part of the campaign, which is carried out in every country where Knauf Insulation operates, the focus is on the 'Safety Feedback' culture, i.e. getting into the habit that everyone can freely point out unsafe behaviour, situations or practices in order to improve everyone's safety.
Knauf Insulation has been an active participant in marking this day since 2016, and this year more than 4,500 colleagues in 21 factories in 15 countries in the Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions will join the 'Safety Feedback' campaign.
Knauf Insulation’s Asia Pacific glasswool insulation manufacturing facility is located in Johor Bahru in the southern part of Malaysia. It features state-of-the-art technology and control equipment making it one of the most efficient and sustainable insulation factories in the Asia Pacific region.
The factory uses up to 80 per cent post-consumer recycled glass in the manufacturing process and features Knauf Insulation’s high compression packaging. All products are made using Knauf Insulation’s revolutionary bio-based binder, ECOSE® Technology, with no added phenol or formaldehyde, and which has revolutionised the world of construction and allowed Knauf Insulation to confirm its leading position in the field of sustainability.
Highly efficient shipping logistics from Malaysia also enables Knauf Insulation to develop new distribution partnerships in South-East Asian countries and strengthen its presence in the major insulation markets of Australia, Japan, Korea, New Zealand and Singapore.
