May 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Electrolux products with the best environmental performance accounted for 22% of total sold units and 35% of Electrolux gross profit in 2010. Sales of Green Range products, which have the best energy and water efficiency, have been progressing steadily since their roll-out in 2008. These are some of the findings in Electrolux 2010 sustainability performance review, Sustainability matters, where the Group presents its strategy and progress on integrating sustainability into the business.

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guideline is the most respected sustainability standard for reporting performance on the environment, labor and human rights practices and societal engagement. Integrated into Electrolux online Annual Reports, Sustainability matters is built around a clickable GRI index allowing readers to drill down to the Group’s response to various sustainability issues.

Sharp focus lies on four issues: climate change, ethical business and safe workplaces, responsible sourcing and restructuring. The report details how Electrolux manages issues and also discloses information about more than 70 performance indicators as defined by the GRI.

Another finding in the report is that Electrolux has cut energy use by 25% since 2005, and set 2014 targets for transportation (15% carbon reduction from transport), and water use (20% reduction) with long and short-term product targets for energy, water and chemical use to follow in 2011.
