Our nine promises

Our nine sustainability promises are the springboard for Electrolux to make a difference between now and 2020. They cover all stages of the value chain – from R&D and suppliers, through our own operations and consumer use, to the end of life of our products.

Case for action

Case for action

Rising incomes around the world mean that the market for appliances is growing. To meet this demand without increasing our impact on the environment, we have to help shift the way our customers and consumers use resources – raw materials, water and especially energy.

Case for action

The impact we have on the world starts with us: what we do and how we treat others. That’s why we’re working to be part of the solution by saving energy and using less water. All of this is grounded in our strong business ethics and our commitment to human and labor rights.

Case for action

As a multinational business, we touch the lives of millions of people – our customers, suppliers and local communities. We want our influence to be a positive one, working in partnership to meet local needs and drive improvement wherever we operate.
