In recent months, Forster Profile Systems has strengthened its position as a leader in sustainable steel systems, announcing significant progress under its ambitious Green Agenda. Known for its premium architectural solutions in doors, windows, and facades, Forster now places sustainability at the core of its strategy — from production to product lifecycle.

Climate Action and Certified Green Buildings.

Forster has committed to reducing its CO₂ emissions by 2030, a target already underway. A major milestone is the Forster Campus in Romanshorn — the first industrial building in Switzerland to receive LEED Gold certification, powered by 100% self-generated solar energy.

Embracing Low-Carbon Steel and Responsible Sourcing.

A key element of Forster’s strategy is the gradual shift to “Low Carbon Emission Steel”, minimizing indirect emissions (Scope 3). The company also collaborates closely with suppliers committed to greener logistics — for instance, using rail transport followed by electric trucks for last-mile delivery.

Circular Design and Full Material Transparency.

Unlike many systems, Forster’s steel profiles do not rely on synthetic insulating materials, improving recyclability. The company applies cradle-to-cradle principles and conducts full value stream analyses to ensure responsible use of all components — including packaging. Architects and developers benefit from transparent EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) across 14 product lines.
