This section of Electrolux sustainability pages takes up how we address key issues facing our industry—globalization, legislation and other environmental and social issues facing the world today.

Global warming

We are concerned about global warming, which poses the greatest threat to our environment today. Read about the Electrolux response to global warming and other key environmental and social issues affecting our industry.

RoHS

The EU RoHS Directive bans the placement of electrical or electronic equipment on the market that contains lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and two groups of brominated flame retardants. Almost all Electrolux products will be modified to some extent to fulfil the RoHS Directive.

Socially responsible investments

Several socially responsible investment indices include the Electrolux Group as a constituent company, including Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index and the FTSE4Good Series.
