We want to be a positive force in society by enabling a more sustainable life in the kitchen. Our focus moving forward is to contribute, scientifically, to reducing the climate impact of our value chain, contribute to more circular flows of material and inspire more sustainable lives. Our work is structured into the following areas:
Innovations for a sustainable lifestyle
Under our brands, we offer kitchens that last for years. This long-term perspective requires remaining on the leading edge, developing products that meet the needs of both today and tomorrow. Sustainability is thus a central theme in our design- and product development.
- 44% sales of Nordic Swan eco-labelled products in Sweden and Norway
- 100% FSC® certified cabinets and frontals in Netherlands and the UK.
Circular materials and flows
Circular solutions and conserving nature’s resources benefit both the environment and the climate. That is why we continually review how we can optimise the use of materials and other resources so that we benefit fully from them.
- 96% timber from certified source
- 62% of our wood waste goes to new products
- 40% recycled wood in our incoming sheet material
Reduced climate impact
We are working steadily to reduce our direct emissions from production and transport; at the same time, we want our products to allow consumers to live more eco-friendly at home.
- 100% renewable electricity in all production facilities and all own stores
- 70% Renewable heating in production facilities and all own stores
Promoting a sustainable culture
Through our employees, we make a difference. Employees with high job satisfaction, who display commitment and all work towards the same goals and vision, are crucial for our success.
Responsible Sourcing
A sustainable supply chain and good relationships with our suppliers are crucial to our ability to offer attractive products to our customers. That is why we are constantly working to bring about open and effective cooperation with responsible suppliers.
- 99% of suppliers in programme for responsible sourcing
- 98% approved suppliers in our programme
