Our action to reduce our carbon footprint and for our customers
At Somfy, reducing CO₂ emissions is a priority. Since 2015, we have been a leader in the industry in adopting an eco-design approach based on a multi-criteria analysis. This is to minimise environmental impact throughout the product life cycle. Our eco-design standards are central to our industrial processes. They focus on the product phases that have the greatest environmental impact. In line with our commitment, we aim to offer 100% eco-designed products by 2030.
Our approach is based on five criteria:
Product Environmental Declaration: As part of our eco-design commitment, products meeting these standards receive the PEP Ecopassport®, which assesses our rigorous environmental impact calculations (www.pep-ecopassport.org). With over 200 PEP Ecopassport® sheets, covering nearly all our best-selling products, Somfy offers one of the most extensive portfolio on the market.
