Electrolux Group

As a leading company in sustainability, we want to contribute to sustainable urban development. Greenhouse Sthlm will be a new green neighborhood around our HQ in Stockholm, Sweden where up to 3000 people will live, work and meet on a daily basis.   The neighborhood will as a start include 114 sustainable lifestyle homes built mainly with wood to reduce CO2 emissions. The roof will be covered with solar panels, and green open spaces shared by residents will improve biodiversity. Designed as a model for modern sustainable urban development, the emphasis is on sharing rather than owning, with plots to cultivate and grow food, a hydroponic garden, as well as space for beekeeping.  A car and bicycle pool will encourage sustainable travel around the city.    Each apartment will also feature our most advanced and climate-smart technologies for sustainable eating and laundry.    Opening next year, we're excited to create a new urban neighborhood that makes a difference. Visit Greenhouse Sthlm's website to find out more: https://lnkd.in/dqEhbr4k #sustainability #greencity #stockholm #shapelivingforthebetter 

Our Electrolux brand is launching its smartest range of laundry appliances in Europe.   Features include: ▪ The new SmartSelect function available on selected washing machines, washer dryers and tumble dryers which adjusts the washing/drying cycle and temperature based on needs, saving time and energy.    ▪ The new SmartSave function in the 900 series tumble dryers gives consumers the choice between faster drying time or lower energy consumption.   ▪ Low wash temperatures and short cycles are also in demand. Consumers can now run a 30 degree cycle, UltraQuick, in 39 minutes in selected washing machines in the 900 series.   “In 2020, textile consumption in Europe had on average the fourth highest impact on the environment,” comments sarah schaefer, Vice President Sustainability for Europe and APMEA at Electrolux Group. “Extending clothing life by just nine months delivers significant benefits but we want to help consumers go further. We have a goal to double the lifetime of clothes and our new range of smart and effortless appliances is a positive step towards that.”     Discover all the new settings and design details here: https://lnkd.in/deGg4-vd #smart #connectivity #sustainability #design #innovation #shapelivingforthebetter

Our North American team has been working hard to electrify their fleet of forklift trucks used to move materials one from manufacturing plant to another. The result? 95% of the fleet is now electrified with the fleet to be fully electrified in the next six years.   This is another important step toward our goal to reduce 97% of carbon emissions in operations by 2030.   Watch the film to learn more. Way to go team NA!    #operations #sustainability #manufacturing #shapelivingforthebetter 

We proudly showcased our brands, AEG and Electrolux, for the very first time at prestigious international design event Design Shanghai – held in June with the aim to explore how Eastern and Western design philosophies can work together.

AEG and Electrolux both presented their unique design aesthetics — AEG with its German Bauhaus-inspired simplicity and Electrolux with its Scandinavian, sustainable style. Meanwhile, our VP Sustainability for Europe, APMEA sarah schaefer delivered a keynote about AI and sustainability at Design Shanghai’s Sustainable Design Summit.

We’re very proud to be recognized as one of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies in TIME's inaugural sustainability ranking. We are ranked 89 out of the 500 companies from around the world that made the list. The world’s 5,000 leading companies, from various sectors, went through a rigorous assessment process. Time explains that the companies at the top of the list (including us) have signed on to some of the most respected climate programs including the 1.5°C target from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), received high scores from CDP and have incorporated sustainability into their business models. The assessment not only included environmental sustainability criteria such as emissions targets and energy efficiency, but also social sustainability such as employee diversity and work safety.   “This recognition means a lot to us and we remain committed to continue our journey to reduce our carbon footprint according to science, as well as caring for people around us," says Elena Breda, our Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer.   Earlier this year, we were also named one of Europe’s Climate Leaders by the Financial Times.

Do you know how much plastic there is in synthetic clothes? Laundering alone causes around half a million tons of plastic microfibers to be released into the ocean every year - the equivalent of releasing almost three billion polyester shirts into the ocean.   Here's how our product innovation can help. Our Microplastic Filter can capture up to 90% of microplastic fibers being released from synthetic clothing during laundering, supporting consumers who want to take care of their clothes while reducing their own environmental impact.    The filter, designed to fit on the laundry wall and made from 50% recycled plastic, works with both Electrolux and AEG washing machines.
