SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable building for the future

A sustainable future for everybody is not a subject to take lightly. It is our biggest concern and will continue to be so. We have high ambitions. We have taken it up on ourselves to make a positive impact on people, society and our planet. Not just because we can, but because we have to.

Elfa's sustainability efforts in practise

These are some of steps on our sustainability journey we have taken: - Reducing carbon footprint: The backbone of the click-in system is re-designed to reduce its carbon footprint. The amount of steel is reduced, without compromising on quality or load capacity. - UN global compact signatory: The UN Global Compact was signed in 2018, its principles are implemented, and Elfa is actively driving awareness and action in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). - Less plastic in packaging: By separating drawers and gliding frames, we reduce our total use of plastic with 2 %. - Code of conduct: To ensure business is conducted ethically and fairly, all employees get training in our code of conduct, at least once per year.​ - Life cycle analysis: In 2020, we started conducting lifecycle analysis and calculating Elfa’s carbon footprint.
