First Green Star in Slovenia
Jelovica has been among the most sustainable companies in Slovenia for decades. The company’s strategy itself is based on the production of energy-efficient and sustainable products in the form of modern prefabricated homes and large facilities. Our certification further confirms that the company is ambitious and successful in achieving global sustainability goals and climate neutrality. Jelovica has earned the prestigious title of the first Green Star in Slovenia, setting an example for successful green transformation.
“The recognition for our efforts we have received with the Green Star certificate has positioned Jelovica among the best sustainable companies in Europe. With it, we have strengthened our position as a leading exporter of low-energy prefabricated buildings to the most demanding European markets. We believe that with its more than a century-long history, Jelovica, as the first Slovenian recipient of the Green Star certificate, will become even more recognized as a leading Slovenian company in the field of sustainability,” said Tomaž Rogelj, Deputy Director at Jelovica Homes.
“At Jelovica, we have recognized sustainability as a competitive advantage years ago, so we approached this transformation systematically and deliberately. At the same time, we often remembered the challenges we have overcome in the past,” adds Rogelj.
The company’s operations are powered by green energy
In recent years, we have enhanced our sustainability efforts by establishing a modern, fully energy self-sufficient manufacturing facility. With the introduction of the latest technological equipment, Jelovica has paid great attention to energy-efficiency measures fas well as its own energy production. Today, we produce all the necessary energy for the production of prefabricated buildings on-site with the help of water, sun and wood biomass. Our pioneering role in this field has been recognized numerous awards, among which the Green Star certificate is just one of many.
Sustainable future
Innovation and state-of-the-art products have been our commitment for 115 years and we will continue to do so in the future. At the same time, we will strive to promote a sustainable mindset among all our suppliers and partners.
Green Star certificate
Green Star is the first certificate for sustainable business and climate action in Slovenia, showing where a company stands on the path of green transformation. The basis for issuing the Green Star certificate is the Green Star ESG rating of sustainable business and climate action, based on international frameworks and standards for sustainable reporting and EU legislation.
It assesses the impact of management, environmental and social factors on the company and the footprint and impact of the company on the environment, climate and society. Thus, companies can see, among other things, how ambitious their set goals are and whether they operate in accordance with measures and activities aimed at filling the gaps on the path to climate neutrality.
