The Group’s global modularization
platforms facilitate the spread
of successful launches from one
market to another, with adap-
tations to local preferences. The
share of product development that
encompasses global projects is
increasing.
The average energy consumption per unit
produced in comparable plants has decreased
by % during the last five years.
The average water consumption
per unit produced in comparable
plants has decreased by %
during the last five years.
Resource efficiency
Electrolux is committed to sustainable growth and, accord-
ingly, efficient use of resources comprises a key component
of its streamlining initiatives. Through the Green Spirit pro-
gram, which is an integral part of the Electrolux Manufactur-
ing System, targets are set to continuously reduce resource
use and waste.
The materials used in household appliances comprise
primarily steel, plastic and electronic components. Savings
in materials are achieved by optimizing the use of materials,
without compromising product performance and quality.
Electrolux is phasing out chemicals of concern. New
scientific findings and stakeholder requirements are used to
update the restricted materials list (RML).
The aim is to increase the proportion of recycled materials
in new products. Up to % post-consumer recycled plastic
is used in selected vacuum-cleaner models.
Energy use and carbon dioxide emissions have high
priority, and Electrolux has targets for absolute and relative
reductions. The average energy consumption per unit pro-
duced in comparable plants has decreased by % during
the last five years. A new target has been set to achieve a
% improvement in energy efficiency in plants and ware-
houses by compared with .
For society as a whole, over % of global carbon dioxide
emissions derives from the transport sector. Electrolux has
set a target for its core markets to annually reduce emissions
by %.
Water shortages are a major problem in many regions.
Electrolux has a long-term commitment to help improve
management of limited water resources.
Together with the World Wildlife Fund, Electrolux mapped
water-related risks associated with Group plants. As a result,
the Group is implementing water management systems
throughout operations to reduce water consumption in man-
ufacturing by % each year in areas of water stress.
