For the 10th consecutive year, Electrolux has been named an industry leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index – with this year’s assessment showing notable growth for the company in the areas of corporate citizenship and philanthropy.
“Sustainability is an integrated part of the Electrolux business model,” said Henrik Sundström, head of sustainability affairs at Electrolux. “It’s also becoming increasingly important for us to consider the wider impact we have on society. In addition to working on issues such as improving the energy efficiency of our products and operations, we want to leverage our global organization and expertise to make a positive difference for consumers and communities around the world.”
According to the company, the Electrolux approach to sustainability is geared toward developing smarter, more accessible, resource-efficient solutions that meet people’s needs and improve their lives. Electrolux noted that it is “constantly working on reducing the environmental impact of products and factories, according to the strictest standards – while providing customers with best-in-class commercial laundry solutions and innovations.”
The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index includes the 10 percent best-in-class economic, environmental and social performers among the world’s 2,500 largest companies.
