Electrolux Cuts Scope 3 Emissions 31% Using CDP Disclosure Strategy

Electrolux Group has reduced its Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 31% against a 2021 baseline as of 2024, leveraging CDP environmental disclosures to guide supply chain engagement and unlock green financing. The company's energy- and water-efficient products now represent 24% of total units sold and 33% of gross profit.

Electrolux Group, a global appliance manufacturer, has integrated CDP disclosure into its core business strategy, using environmental data to secure green financing, including funding for a new North American manufacturing facility. The company set a science-based target to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030 against a 2021 baseline and achieved a 31% reduction by 2024. Scope 3 emissions account for 99% of Electrolux's total emissions footprint, driving the company to embed supplier engagement as a primary lever for climate action.

Through the CDP Supply Chain Program, 98% of Electrolux Group's strategic suppliers disclosed sustainability data in 2024. In Brazil, the company offers favorable financial terms to suppliers meeting specific CDP criteria, a model it plans to scale globally. Scope 1 and 2 emissions were cut by 36% compared to 2021 levels through 94% renewable electricity use and operational efficiency improvements. The company's approach demonstrates how disclosure frameworks can translate into measurable financial and environmental outcomes across complex value chains.

Electrolux Group's experience offers a replicable model for large manufacturers seeking to convert environmental transparency into strategic advantage. The company continues to use CDP as a governance and target-setting tool while translating supplier data into concrete action. With increasing regulatory pressure on supply chain emissions, particularly under emerging EU due diligence frameworks, the approach of embedding Scope 3 reduction targets into green financing frameworks is gaining relevance for global manufacturers, including those with India-based supplier networks.
