Our action plan to make an everyday difference in people’s lives and for our planet.
For 100 years, Electrolux has been determined to make the everyday better for millions of people around the world. Sustainability has always been part of our DNA; perhaps that's why we have been industry leaders in sustainability for over a decade. But we can — and will — do more. It all starts now - with the choices we make in everyday life.
Food is the single most critical factor when it comes to our health. It is also critical to our planet´s health, with the food industry accounting for a third of global energy consumption and over 20 percent of emissions. All the more shocking, then, that 30% of the food we buy is thrown away, even though one-ninth of the world is going to sleep hungry each night. That is why we want to help people make better eating choices in ways that are effortless and enjoyable.
These are the things we aim to focus on for Better Eating:
Reduce food waste in every way we can, inspire more plant-based eating, minimize nutrition loss in foods, improve the experience of eating sustainably through enhanced tastes, textures and colours and make it easy to implement all of these in everyday life.
Better solutions not only refers to innovations that improve experiences for consumers, but also to making appliances better for our planet. With climate change and the release of greenhouse gasses being one of the most urgent challenges of our time - sustainable thinking has become a must for each and every organization.
At Electrolux we have realized that we have to become part of the solution in order to save the planet. This is why we are constantly striving towards an ethical and environmental-friendly mindset that is present in all our daily operations.
We are a part of society. This means that we can choose to make a positive impact in the communities where we are present. This is exactly what we intend to do - making a difference for the better.
