Electrolux Group has reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability and its long-term ambition to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across its entire value chain by 2050. Speaking at the SX Sustainability Expo 2025, Southeast Asia’s largest platform for sustainable innovation, Alexis Richard, General Manager of Electrolux Thailand, underscored the company’s progress in advancing circularity as part of its ‘For the Better 2030’ framework.
He also highlighted the Group’s latest target to increase the share of recycled steel and plastic by weight to 35% by 2030 in its global manufacturing, reinforcing Electrolux’s goal of embedding sustainability throughout its product lifecycle.
The For the Better 2030 sustainability framework is built upon three core pillars – Better Company, Better Solutions, and Better Living – as well as the Group’s defined Climate Goals. Its measurable actions span enhancing operational efficiency with reduced environmental impact, strengthening supply chain responsibility, advancing consumer experiences through energy- and resource-efficient product innovations, and driving meaningful community engagement.
‘Sustainability is an integral part of our global strategy,’ said Mr Richard. ‘As the regional commercial hub for Asia, with our Rayong factory serving as one of our global manufacturing sites, Thailand plays a key role in achieving our sustainability targets – particularly by introducing sustainable products to local consumers. We offer circular solutions that enable people to prepare great-tasting food, care for their clothes so they stay new for longer, and enjoy healthier well-being at home.’
Electrolux Group achieved its first science-based climate target in 2022, three years ahead of schedule, and has since set a more ambitious goal to achieve net-zero emissions – reducing operational carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 85% and product-related emissions (Scope 3) by 42% by 2030.
‘With two-thirds of global consumers considering sustainability an important criterion when purchasing home appliances, being recognised as a sustainability leader is a major advantage,’ Mr Richard added. ‘We will continue to push ourselves and the entire industry towards even bolder commitments that make sustainable living the new standard.’
The company’s leadership in sustainability has been recognised with the EcoVadis Gold rating, placing Electrolux Group among the top 5% of more than 70,000 companies globally for responsible business practices and sustainable innovation.
