At FabricAir, sustainability is more than a corporate value; it is how we design, manufacture, and deliver every air distribution system. Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals are integrated into our strategy to ensure that every project we support moves the industry closer to a cleaner, more responsible future.

Why ESG Matters

ESG is not just about corporate responsibility; it is about performance, transparency, and long-term project value. As the value of sustainability becomes increasingly clear, it is built into project requirements, procurement evaluations, and investor expectations. Businesses and suppliers must start demonstrating progress toward reducing carbon emissions, improving supply chain ethics, introducing circular products and business models, and ensuring transparency.

By aligning with verified ESG principles, FabricAir helps you meet these evolving requirements by offering documentation, lifecycle data, and compliance materials that make your projects easier to certify and defend in RFPs and audits.

How Our ESG Goals Benefit Your Projects

Every ESG target at FabricAir translates into real advantages for contractors, engineers, and designers.

  1. Support for Sustainability Certifications

FabricAir systems contribute to credits under LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB, with direct benefits for energy efficiency, indoor air quality (IAQ), and material transparency. Our team provides the documentation needed to simplify your certification process.

  1. Streamlined Procurement and Reporting

Working with FabricAir supports compliance with Scope 3 reporting, responsible sourcing, and other procurement requirements increasingly found in U.S. government and private-sector tenders.

  1. Verified, Transparent Data

We back our ESG progress with third-party documentation:

  • Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)
  • ISO certifications
  • Carbon footprint data
  • Compliance with OEKO-TEX®, REACH, and RoHS

This transparency ensures you can confidently include FabricAir systems in your sustainability reports and client presentations.

A North American Perspective on Sustainable HVAC

Across the U.S. and Canada, the HVAC industry is rapidly evolving toward carbon-neutral construction and whole-lifecycle accountability. FabricAir’s ESG roadmap aligns with this transformation by:

  • Reducing embodied carbon through fabric-based ducting systems
  • Improving air dispersion efficiency and energy performance
  • Extending system life while minimizing waste

Our mission is clear: help North American engineers and contractors deliver sustainable buildings without compromising performance or comfort.
