Stakeholders
and society
Electrolux is strongly committed to dialog, raising
awareness and building partnerships to reinforce trust
in the company and develop sustainable solutions
along the value chain.
• The company was named US Energy Star
Partner of the Year for Appliances.
• Future InSight was launched, which is a strat-
egy report and platform for dialog on the role
Electrolux has in tackling global challenges
and the opportunities that exist by doing so.
• The Group created partnerships with stake-
holders across the value chain, for example,
by engaging suppliers in the Group's energy-
reduction activities and actively participating
in the development of smart grid technology.

Report based on GRI criteria, available in the
online Annual Report.
People and
operations
Electrolux strives to continually improve its operations and
way of doing business for the benefit of both people and
the environment. Employees also play an active role in
sustainability efforts. All employees are expected to
adhere to the six guiding sustainability principles known
as the “Electrolux foundation”, and achieving the targets
set in the strategy depends on their commitment.
• The Group Ethics Program, including training and an
ethics helpline, was rolled out, beginning with 8,100
employees in Latin America.
• The Group made progress on operational targets, and
exceeded the 2012 energy-reduction goal of 28% by
8 percentage points. A new target of a further 3.5%
energy reduction will form the basis for activities in
2012. Performance in 2011 was also in line with both
the 2014 15% carbon-reduction target for transporta-
tion and the 20% water-reduction target.
• In terms of health and safety, the Group's objective for
2016 is to operate 25% of its plants at best practice
levels for its industry. In 2011, the accident rate was
reduced by 42% this year, thus taking the Group a
few steps closer to realizing its vision of achieving
accident-free facilities.
UN Global Compact
Electrolux supports the UN Global Compact Ten
Principles on human rights, labor, environment and
anti-corruption. The Electrolux Code of Ethics,
Workplace Code of Conduct, Policy on Bribery and
Corruption and Environmental Policy are strongly
aligned with these principles.
Succeeding in this business is about sustain-
ably improving people's lives by bringing to
market more efcient and affordable appliances.
