Join us in making a change
For the Better

By 2020 we aim to have cut our carbon footprint
in half. Join us in making a change For the Better.

We want to make a change for the better by making a positive everyday difference in people's lives and for our planet.

We know there are challenges. But by working together to find sustainable solutions that benefit everyone, we will continue to make a positive difference - every day.

Better Solutions

Constantly rethink products to make them better for consumers and our planet.

A growing market for appliances means a growing need to reduce the impact each product has on the environment. That's why we not only want to continuously improve product efficiency, but also reduce the use of harmful materials in products and production, and educate consumers on more sustainable use of our products.

Goals

We want to be a leader in product efficiency in our key markets by 2020. These are our ways of getting there:

Up to 80% of the impact of an appliance occurs during its use in consumers' homes.

Better Operations

Develop our operations with people and the environment in mind.

The impact we have on the world starts with us: what we do and how we treat others. Therefore, we need to set the best example by providing the best health and safety at work and applying the same high ethics standards across all our global operations. And run clean and efficient operations globally to reduce our own environmental footprint.

"Is this for the better?" - our mindset behind everything we do.
