Electrolux Group received the Partner of the Year Award for
the second year in a row.
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Electrolux Group is proud to
announce that for the second consecutive year it has received the
ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Award from
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Each year, the ENERGY STAR program honors a select group of
businesses and organizations that have made outstanding
contributions to energy efficiency and the transition to a clean
energy economy. ENERGY STAR award winners lead their industries in
the production, sale, and adoption of energy-efficient products,
homes, buildings, services, and strategies. These efforts have
saved more than 5 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity over the
past 30 years.
As a leading home appliance manufacturer, Electrolux Group makes
energy efficiency a priority across all its key product categories
and has increased its Energy STAR portfolio by 67 percent since
2021. These products provide consumers innovative
solutions and appliances that make their lives easier in ways
that make life better for all, such as reducing energy and water
consumption. As product energy use is responsible for approximately
85% of Electrolux Group's climate impact, product energy efficiency
is where it can make the greatest contribution to tackling climate
change.
"We consider our partnership and this recognition with the EPA a
point of pride as we are committed to creating a cleaner, more
efficient future for all," said Tara
Helms, head of Sustainability for Electrolux Group North
America. "We understand the importance of prioritizing energy
efficiency by manufacturing appliances that give consumers the
opportunity to make more sustainable, impactful and
cost-effective choices in their homes. Electrolux Group will
continue to improve the energy and water performance of its
appliances, raising the bar for product efficiency around the
world."
Notably, the company is one of only four brands to offer an
ENERGY STAR certified induction range under its Frigidaire brand,
which is also eligible for the Inflation Reduction Act's (IRA)
consumer tax credit. This Frigidaire 30" Induction range was
recently awarded the Best Induction Range 2024 by The Food
Network and CNN Underscored.
The organization's commitment to leading meaningful actions that
shape living for the better is not only reflected in this
recognition by the EPA, but also in its community relations
efforts. The company donated 1,100 ENERGY STAR certified room air
conditioners to needy residents in the communities in which it
operates; implemented changes to its branded websites to help
consumers identify more energy-efficient appliances; and
successfully achieved its global, science-based, climate target
three years ahead of plan.
"President Biden's Investing in America agenda creates
unprecedented opportunity to build a clean energy economy, and
private sector partners through programs like ENERGY STAR are
leading the way," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "I congratulate this
year's ENERGY STAR award winners for their innovation and
leadership, in delivering cost-effective energy efficient solutions
that create jobs, address climate change, and contribute to a
healthier environment for all."
Winners are selected from a network of thousands of ENERGY STAR
partners. For a complete list of 2024 winners and more information
