Rockwool
Too often we witness relationships established between commercial organisations and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) such as charities, activist groups and lobbyists and are left scratching our heads as to why they got together.
On the face of it many would find it curious that an NGO like us–Noise Abatement Society would work together with an insulation manufacturer–Rockwool. Insulation is synonymous for many with energy efficiency, reduced heating bills and with cutting CO2 emissions; very few are aware that certain types of insulation also provide an effective barrier against noise.
Therefore, as a manufacturer concerned with protecting the aural environment there is a clear synergy between Rockwool’s values and those of the Noise Abatement Society. Both parties are committed to raising awareness of noise pollution and developing solutions to sound issues.
