Our production

Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C is a challenge we must all rise to. For Purmo, this means, among other things, improving the way we make and deliver our products to enhance their performance and recyclability. It also means changing our manufacturing and working environments worldwide to make them cleaner and greener.

Our three commitments within production are:

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.
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.
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.
