Electrolux Group’s Emissions Decrease 36%

Electrolux Group, a home appliance manufacturer, announced that the company achieved progress on reducing carbon emissions in Scope 1 and 2 (operations) by 36% and Scope 3 including product use by 31% compared to 2021. This marks progress toward the Group's second science-based climate target.

The company also sourced 94% of electricity and 64% of total energy used in operations from renewables.

"As a sustainability leader, we will continue to push ourselves and the industry to adopt even bolder sustainability commitments," says Elena Breda, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer at Electrolux Group, in a statement. "I am very proud that we have set this target as an industry first. It will help us drive our company's circularity agenda through the increased use of recycled steel and plastics in our products."

Electrolux’s most resource-efficient products accounted for 24% of total units sold and 33% of gross profit. Some of the Group's latest washing machines in Europe exceed the top A energy label by up to 60%.

The smart mode of the new Electrolux Pure 900 Air Purifier Humidifier intelligently adjusts the fan speed based on pollutant levels in the air to use 53% less energy than the normal mode. In the auto modes of the latest vacuum cleaners, suction power adjusts automatically to use up to 52% less energy on corded bagged model and up to 47% less on cordless models while also prolonging the runtime. Electrolux / AEG ovens with CookSmart Touch can use up to 28% less energy.

The company announced a new recycled materials target, which aims to increase the share of recycled steel and plastic by weight used in the products manufactured by the Group to 35% by 2030. This almost doubles the weight of recycled materials in scope compared with the company's previous target. The new target was launched alongside the Group's sustainability results for 2024.

This new target replaces the Group's previous recycled plastic target and expands its focus to include its two most highly used materials by weight. Adding steel to the target increases the material in scope to more than 40% of all material purchased by the Group, or around three times what was in the scope of the previous target. Additionally, the weight of recycled steel and plastics generated by the 35% target is more than double the weight covered by the previous recycled plastics target.
