EN16-25
Energy efficiency measures implemented at Electrolux through the Green Spirit program have saved 200,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent between 2005 and 2014.
These efficiency measures resulted in lower annual energy costs of approximately SEK 375m per year.
Elimination of high global warming potential greenhouse gases resulted in the avoidance of approximately 28,000 tonnes CO2 equivalent in 2014 compared to 2013 emissions.
