Used in homes and restaurants throughout Europe for more than 80 years, Electrolux is a leader in providing consumers with energy-efficient options in every appliance category and incorporates this commitment into the company’s operations as well. Of note:
- Electrolux’s premium collection of kitchen and laundry appliances are ENERGY STAR® Qualified, where applicable, offering a wide variety of sleek and stylish appliances that are at least 20% more energy efficient than non-ENERGY STAR® Qualified appliances.
- Electrolux is the only major household appliances company included in the most recent Dow Jones Sustainability World Index.
- As part of its company-wide “Green Spirit” initiative, Electrolux is committed to improving the energy efficiency of its operations by reducing total energy use 15% by the end of 2009.
- Through packaging improvements, Electrolux has been able to increase the number of units it can put on a truck and significantly reduce the impact of transporting its product from factory to retail distribution centers. In the case of dishwashers, this amounts to about one third fewer truckloads.
