Today is #GlobalRecyclingDay ♻️ Seven years ago, we initiated the cross-sector partnership REWOOD with Golder and Solum A/S and participated in the Circular Construction Challenge, an initiative by Realdania and DDC – Danish Design Center to spark fresh ideas for reducing waste. Today, the pilot project has turned into a recycling concept and has been launched in Denmark, Sweden and Finland. REWOOD collects temporary or unused wood from construction sites and offers it as a circular alternative to new wood. In this way, we help increase the use of recycled materials in the construction industry as well as utilise the forest's resources in a more sustainable way 🌱 Let’s together build a zero-waste future. #buildingthefuture #sustainbility #ESG

“For me, it’s an extremely interesting topic that I will never stop working with.” A diverse and inclusive workplace creates a better culture and drives higher performance, greater innovation, and stronger earnings. When people feel seen, heard, and valued, they bring their best ideas to the table. That’s why we are committed to ongoing action. Every year, we take new steps to foster a more diverse and inclusive culture at STARK Group. This includes: ✔️ Regularly monitor our DEI initiatives, with control procedures in place to minimise the risk of misconduct. ✔️ Inclusive leadership training for managers covering DE&I principles, bias awareness, and strategies for leading inclusively. ✔️ Growing our talent programme Grow@STARK – focusing on supporting a diverse representation of gender, age and experience among our future leaders All of this is because progress is built on consistency. 👇 Watch our CHRO, Lene Groth, discuss why DE&I is essential to how we work and grow at STARK Group 🎬 #buildingthefuture #internationalwomensday #IWD #diveristy #equity #inclusion #DEI

This month, we celebrate two years since STARK Building Materials UK and its brands became part of our Group 📍🇬🇧 Two years ago, we turned the page to a new chapter, welcoming our UK colleagues and strengthening our presence in the industry 🤝 Since then, we’ve worked hand-in-hand, leveraging our collective strengths, sharing expertise, and driving growth together. 🚀 Time flies when you’re building something great! Thank you to our teams across the UK and beyond for your dedication and passion. Here’s to many more milestones ahead! 👇 Here's a little throwback

“It’s actually what you feel when you walk into the branches. The branches always feel better when there is a better balance of people within the branch.” As an international organisation, we embrace the opportunity to learn from each other and share best practices across borders. Recently, our UK CEO, John Carter, met with our Danish branch managers to discuss his experience in working with diversity, equity and inclusion throughout his career. The conversation focused on the impact that an inclusive culture has on our people and performance, as well as the challenges of breaking down barriers. While change can be difficult at first, once the momentum builds, the benefits become undeniable. 👇Watch our UK CEO, John Carter, share his insights and learnings throughout his career. #buildingthefuture #internationalwomensday #IWD #diveristy #equity #inclusion #DEI

Happy International Women's Day 💜 Today, we celebrate the achievements of women. But this day is about more than just celebration - it’s about challenging the status quo and building a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive future. In the construction industry, only 10% of the workforce are women - and among tradespeople, the number is even lower. This means a huge talent pool remains untapped, and many women are missing out on rewarding careers in a thriving industry. At STARK Group, we’re committed to changing this. We believe in empowering women in trades, attracting more female talent, and fostering an industry where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. To mark this day, we’ve asked some of our female colleagues to share their experiences working in the building industry - their challenges, their successes, and why they believe this is a great industry to be part of. Their voices are shaping the future of construction, and we’re proud to share their stories. 👉 Discover their stories here: https://ow.ly/g09R50UsxxV #buildingthefuture #internationalwomensday #IWD #diveristy #equity #inclusion #DEI

The building industry is full of countless career opportunities. And yet – women make up only 10% of the workforce in the construction industry in Europe. But that’s changing. Women like Sally, one of our incredible truck drivers, are driving change – literally. She is proving that the building industry isn’t just for men – it’s for everyone with the passion and skills to succeed. 💡Her advice to women considering a career in the industry? “Absolutely, get stuck in there!” At STARK Group, we’re working to bring more women into the trades and create a more inclusive industry. Leading up to this year's International Women’s Day, we’re amplifying the voices of women like Sally – because great jobs should be for everyone. #buildingthefuture #internationalwomensday #IWD #diveristy #equity #inclusion #DEI

Yesterday, we cut the first sod to our new and expansive distribution centre for light building materials in Denmark. The new warehouse spans 24,000 square meters and will ensure day-to-day delivery of 50,000 SKUs to construction sites and branches across Denmark. This investment marks a step forward in our vision to enhance our already leading distribution of building materials. The new distribution centre for a wide range of tools, bolts, workwear, and other light building materials strengthens our logistical capabilities, allowing us to improve the range and availability of products and ensure a more efficient and flexible workday for tradespeople. The new distribution centre is located in greater Copenhagen and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2026. 👉 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/d94jpr4s #buildingthefuture #distribution #logistics

“I want everybody to feel included when they go to work every day. That’s just part of my DNA.” At STARK Group, we believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are about so much more than gender – it includes age, nationality, background, sexuality, perspectives, experiences, and much more. We believe that DE&I fuels innovation strengthens team engagement, and helps us build deeper customer relationships. It’s not just the right thing to do – it’s a business necessity. Each year, we take steady steps forward. This includes initiatives like: ✔️ Well-being becoming an integral part of our engagement surveys, with questions focused on psychological safety and experiences of harassment ✔️ Inclusive leadership training for managers covering DE&I principles, bias awareness, and strategies for leading inclusively. ✔️ Growing our talent programme Grow@STARK – focusing on supporting a diverse representation of gender, age and experience among our future leaders All of this is because meaningful change happens through action, not just words. 👇 Watch our CHRO, Lene Groth, share why DE&I is fundamental to our journey🎥 #buildingthefuture #internationalwomensday #IWD #diveristy #equity #inclusion #DEI
