Addressing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is one of the most urgent challenges facing society. We strive to lead the global transition to a low carbon economy in the home appliance industry by reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our entire value chain.
This is achieved primarily by continuously improving energy efficiency in our operations, maintaining ISO 50001 energy management system standards, switching to renewable energy from verified sources and phasing out the use of high global-warming-potential refrigerants.
We want to make our operations more climate-responsible and resource-efficient while also creating solutions that make more sustainable living effortlessly ever better and to acting responsibly for people, our communities, and the planet. Our focus areas for Better Company are:
We strive for more resource-efficient operations.
Electrolux Group aims to run more resource-efficient operations and phase out fossil fuels as an integral part of its work by applying industry-leading practices. This reflects the Group’s values and what it stands for as a company — contributing to the solution is important for both employees and consumers.
The company acts responsibly with respect for people and ethics.
A strong ethical culture is essential for building trust and enabling long-term success. By fostering an inclusive workplace where people feel they belong and can contribute, the Group strengthens innovation and its ability to attract and retain top talent.
Our products should be made the same way throughout our supply chain — with respect for the people who made them and for the environment.
As a company with sustainability leadership aspirations, Electrolux Group sees its suppliers as an extension of its own operations.
Suppliers are expected to support the Group’s sustainability agenda by actively working to improve their own sustainability performance. This contributes to sustainability progress, not only in the Group’s supply chains, but also beyond.
Explore circular business models and new ways to make water- and energy-efficient products.
To reduce the environmental impact during the product-use phase, our R&D and design teams will continue to explore ways to make more water- and energy-efficient products. We’re passionate about resources being used for as long as possible then recovered and given a new life — instead of being sent to landfill. One way we’re doing this is by exploring circular business models to prolong the useful life of products and parts. We’re also collaborating with various partners to build new knowledge to improve product recyclability.
We are continuously adding new sustainability actions as we strive to be a Better Company that creates Better Solutions and enables Better Living for consumers by inspiring and enabling them to live more sustainably. Explore our evolving list of completed and ongoing actions.
