The renovation of the Eminescu Theoretical Gymnasium in Târnăveni, Romania is one of two major renovation projects in which we have been actively involved by offering technical advice on renovating the interior and exterior of buildings using appropriate materials to increase energy efficiency and comfort inside. The insulation of the facades and attic of both facilities in the local community of Târnăveni is the way we express our support for the local community and the way we support our employees, customers and other stakeholders. We encourage community engagement because we believe in creating healthy and sustainable communities and business centers in this way.

Living our sustainability strategy For a Better World, Surdulica plant (SRB) is constantly involved in various CSR activities. 

In march 2021, we planted 300 trees in Surdulica. Every September, we welcome Surdulica primary school first graders with presents. In 2022, we supported three NGO projects which included children: horse-riding school for kids, ecology classes and new playground in Surdulica park. We also organized art competition for all primary school kids and awarded best pupils in all primary and secondary schools in the municipality.

On top of that, we constantly help the local health centre with donations, especially during Covid.

Together with Habitat for Humanity Romania, by redirecting 20% of income tax we support them in continuing their mission to eliminate poor sheltering and lack of shelter to thousands of families in Romania. The main goal of this project is to provide families living in present in improper or overcrowded conditions a decent and accessible house.

In 2021 we built houses for 4 families and an educational center for at least 200 children. As part of the Hope Build project, we built also 14 houses in 2022. The houses were built in 4 accelerated building events and volunteering, for 5 days each. 

The main goal of this project is to provide families living in present in improper or overcrowded conditions a decent and accessible house.

This year, we supported the civic association Novobanský minnícky spolok, which is interested in a beneficial cause - the creation of the Althandel Mining Museum in Nová Bani and the presentation of Potter's atmospheric machine. We are also happy about the activities of the civic association Novobanski patrioti, thanks to which we are one step closer to a new oasis of relaxation in Štály, it is also preparing an Outdoor Film Festival and the installation of workout street sets on the Tajcha. Support also belonged to OZ KOVO – our contribution will be used for social events and recreation of Knauf Insulation employees.
