Our 10 commitments
We have a clear sustainability strategy, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Climate Agreement.
To make change happen and ensure it's rapid, continuous and meaningful, we've set up a clear roadmap.
This will guide us towards a sustainable future via touchpoint goals in 4 focus areas: our production, our solutions, our people and our communities.
Within these areas our ambitions are linked to 10 commitments, which in turn are associated to well-designed actions and projects!
Join us on the road to a sustainable future
As a leading provider of indoor climate comfort solutions, we contribute daily to the heating and cooling of millions of buildings worldwide.
This allows us to improve quality of life for many, but it also gives us a great responsibility! That’s why we have chosen to act on multiple fronts:
More sustainable production
More efficient solutions
Engaged employees
Stronger communities
Production
We constantly strive to improve our production and delivery processes, with a focus on performance and sustainability.
Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C is a challenge we must all rise to. For Emmeti and Purmo Group, this means, among other things, improving the way we make and deliver our products to enhance their performance and recyclability.
Our 3 Commitments to Production
1 Emissions and Energy
We aim to achieve carbon neutrality in both our own greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1) and those of our supply chain (Scope 2 & 3).
This goal applies to all our plants and operation sites.
2 Resource efficiency and waste
On top of finding ways to use fewer raw materials to make our products, we are pursuing circularity in our production processes.
Furthermore, we are eliminating waste to landfill and reducing water consumption. In terms of packaging, we are switching to recycled, recyclable, or biodegradable materials wherever possible.
3 Responsible sourcing
By changing the way we source materials, such as steel, brass, plastic and packaging materials, we want to get a clean start for a greener production and delivery process.
We are committed to a sustainable, responsible supply chain which respects our workers’ rights as well as reduces our carbon footprint.
Solutions
We lead the market with eco-friendly heating and cooling solutions that are easy to integrate.
By applying circular design principles and helping customers make climate-smart choices, we actively reduce the environmental impact of our entire product range.
Our 2 Commitments to Solutions
4 Climate-smart choices
As a leading supplier of indoor climate comfort solutions, we consider it our responsibility to help homeowners better manage their energy use.
Our aim is to provide clear information about our efficient, circular and integrated systems as well as the lifetime environmental impact of all our products so that we can help our customers make informed choices.
5 Circularity and End of Life
We will apply circular design principles to all our products in an effort to add sustainable and long-lasting value to our entire range.
We are also investing in the creation of more circularity-focused solutions.
People
Emmeti is more than the products we manufacture and the climate solutions we offer.
We place great importance on the well-being of our people: they are the heart of our business.
Our 4 Commitments to People
6 Diversity, equality and inclusion
At Emmeti we believe that a healthy business is both diverse and inclusive.
That’s why we’re actively increasing the number of women in our senior management positions, bridging and eliminating pay gaps and creating a discrimination-free working culture.
7 Engagement at Work
Employee input and involvement has enabled us to implement programmes focused on internal communication and feedback, learning and development, and health and wellbeing.
We are continuously measuring employee engagement to ensure a healthy collaboration between all job levels and a sense of belonging.
8 Employee upskilling
To achieve our ambitions, our workforce needs to be future-fit and sufficiently trained. Therefore, all staff are attending relevant upskilling and reskilling programmes.
In addition, we have created a Sustainability Ideas Challenge to harness the knowledge and insight of our staff to generate sustainability-related ideas of all kinds from across the business.
9 Health and Safety
Although we are well aware that manufacturing plants have a higher risk of accidents, we have a groupwide zero-accident target. Our health and safety strategy is based on a compliance-first approach to protect our people.
Our training is ongoing, and our monitoring and reporting system tracks safety incidents and observations closely to ensure it’s constantly top of mind.
Communities
We are an integral part of the communities where we operate and where our solutions are installed.
We care about the local area and support it by dedicating our time, products, and services.
Our Commitment to the Community
10 Community Engagement
Energy poverty prevents many people from enjoying indoor climate comfort. We support the most vulnerable people in the areas where we operate so that they can become more climate resilient.
We do so by donating our time as well as the products and services that can do the most good. On top of that, we engage in targeted levels of volunteering and charity work.
