Our approach to responsible business practices
As early as 1961, company founder Fritz Egger Sr. believed that wood was far too valuable to simply throw it away. He laid the foundations for our business by processing wood waste residues into high-quality new products.
Today, sustainability aspects are embedded in our company strategy. At its core is the use of the valuable resource wood. We clearly advocate the cascading use of wood and aim to help keep wood in cycles that are as closed as possible and use it repeatedly.
We pursue defined sustainability goals in the areas of economic, ecological and social responsibility. We are guided by transparent facts and our aspiration to keep improving.

Our contribution
Climate action
We are explicitly committed to the Net Zero target by 2050. By then, we will have drastically reduced our Group-wide carbon footprint. The EGGER way to Net Zero involves comprehensive measures. We are taking it step by step.
Sustainable forestry
The valuable resource wood grows back and removes CO2 from the atmosphere. In the process, carbon is stored in the wood. This means that wood plays an important role in climate protection. The sustainable management of forests is the prerequisite for using wood as a climate-friendly material. We are strong supporters of sustainable forestry.
Circular economy
Working in closed cycles is at the core of our business model. We use sawmill by-products and recycled wood in the production of new, high-quality wood-based materials. This is how we can use wood in many ways. We want to further increase the proportion of recycled wood in the future.
Good jobs
Our employees are the most valuable part of our family business. We want to be the best employer in our respective region. We are driven by the development opportunities of our employees, their satisfaction and, above all, their health and safety.
Green industry
We are committed to using clean and environmentally friendly technologies. We therefore invest continuously in our plants and ensure efficient and sustainable production processes. In this way, we want to continue to fulfil our role as a technological pioneer in the industry in the future.
Sustainable products: Transparency counts
All our sustainability efforts have a common goal: to produce sustainable products for our customers. Our aim is to constantly improve together with our customers.
We stand for a reliable database, transparent product information and expert advice. We provide specific document formats that clearly summarise the environmental performance of our products. In this way, we support our customers in offering even more sustainable solutions.
