We have developed sustainability targets and objectives to support our priorities and sustainability strategy.
Targets & Performance
Climate targets
We place great emphasis on reducing the environmental impact of our business activities. Our main environmental and climate impact occurs during the product-use phase. As our products are used, they consume resources such as energy, water, and detergents. These resources impact the product’s environmental footprint as well as the customer’s operating costs.
Our near-term targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and reduce indirect use phase emissions (Scope 3) by 2030 was validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2023.
Climate target for 2030
Reduce CO2 emissions
Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our industrial sites
>-70%
by 2025 (base year 2015)
Climate target for 2025
Reduce CO2 emissions
Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our industrial sites
>-50%
by 2030 (base year 2019)
Target was reached in 2023.
Climate target for 2030
Reduce indirect use-phase emissions of sold products
Scope 3 emissions
>-27.5%
by 2030 (base year 2019)
Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions
OUTCOME 2023
Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions in 2023 amounted to 4.25 (6.2) kton, which is -62%* compared to 2015 with a recalculated baseline**. Strong focus on switching to renewable energy, and full capacity generation of renewable electricity in Rayong, made it possible to reach the 2025 target two years ahead of time.
** Recalculation is made by distributing the first reported emission footprint backwards to previous years.
Energy consumption

People Targets
Our mission is to make our customers’ work-life easier, more profitable – and truly sustainable every day. This can only be accomplished through our greatest asset – our people.
Health and safety target
We prioritize the wellbeing of all employees by providing a safe and healthy work environment. We work with a ’zero accident’ mindset, putting safety at the top of the agenda.
Gender diversity
We recognize and seek diversity in all its forms since it is paramount to our business success that we have a wide and diverse perspective on matters. We monitor gender diversity, and we have clear and cascaded objectives to increase gender diversity.

Lost Time Injury Rate
OUTCOME 2023
The number of accidents resulting in lost work time decreased bringing us closer to our target, at 0.54 (0.64). We continued to address the root causes of accidents, working proactively with near misses and unsafe actions.
Leadership diversity
OUTCOME 2023
The percentage of women in all managerial positions in 2023 was 27% (26). Gender diversity across managerial positions improved somewhat. Activities related to diversity and inclusion, such as training and support for hiring managers have increased during the year.
Electrolux Professional Group is the sustainability leader in our industry. In 2023, we already reached our 2025 CO2 targets, and new targets were set.
