We’ve been 100% carbon neutral in our operations¹ since 2020, but this is just the start of our plan.

We know everything we use today will affect the planet tomorrow. For the past century, we've innovated to make products faster, better, and more energy efficient. Today, we're applying that same spirit to circular design trying to use less and re-use more in everything we do.How are we getting there? By creating more ways to refurbish our products. By using more recycled and bio-based materials. And by making it easier to recycle items again. When we use less and re-use more in everything we do, we can actively reduce our impact on the planet. A better future is possible with a plan that’s built to last.

Engineered for the long run.
In more ways than one.

We’re aiming to give our products a longer life by designing them with recyclability and repair in mind.

In 2020,

we sold more than 30, 000

refurbished products

A material shift.
Towards the better.

We are prioritizing materials that are more sustainably sourced and recycled — and easy to recycle again.

A continuous focus on energy.
Across our entire operation.

We’re betting big on renewable energy. But that’s not the only thing we do. Our designers and engineers have been working with EcoDesign principles for more than 30 years increasing energy efficiency of the products we make.
