STOCKHOLM, March 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Electrolux
publishes its 2020 Sustainability Report today. The report
highlights include a 70% reduction in emissions since 2015 and an
innovative climate reduction element to its long-term incentive
program for top managers.
The report covers the company's progress on its sustainability
ambitions according to its new For the Better 2030 sustainability
framework launched in March 2020. The
comprehensive framework covers the areas of `Better Solutions',
`Better Company', `Better Living' and the company's climate
targets.
"I firmly believe that our new framework will help us maintain
our sustainability leadership, which will be a competitive
advantage and driver of profitable growth over the next decade,"
says Jonas Samuelson, Electrolux
President & CEO. "In fact, the framework takes our
sustainability objectives to the next level - including an ambition
to achieve climate neutrality across our value chain by 2050."
The report highlights include a 70% reduction in CO2 emissions
from the company's operations since 2015 - toward its 80% reduction
science-based target (Scope 1 and 2) by 2025 and a 100% reduction
by 2030. Electrolux science-based target (Scope 3) product use
emissions decreased by over 20% compared to 2015.
Electrolux also took an important step toward its climate
ambition by adding a substantial climate impact reduction element
to its long-term incentive program for its top 260 managers, which
will drive climate action throughout the organization.
"For the Better 2030 means broadening our sustainability
approach to address topics that are close to us by helping people
to live more sustainably in their homes while they are using our
products," says Henrik Sundström, VP Sustainability Affairs. "This
involves promoting more sustainable eating, making clothes last
longer and improving their home environment. Our first pan-regional
campaign Make it Last, to inspire consumers to take better care of
their clothes, is a good example of our approach."
