Decarbonising products: Our commitment to Eco-Design
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.

Solutions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Buildings

We develop solutions to optimize building energy performance.​ This is a major issue, as this sector is one of the largest emitters of CO2.

Thanks to intelligent solar​ protections and rolling shutter control, we can reduce the need for heating in winter and the use of air conditioning in summer. To validate our approach, we teamed up with Carbone 4* to develop a model to calculate emissions avoided when using our motorization solutions​ and automating rolling shutters.​

​

* Carbone 4 is a consulting firm specialising in low-carbon strategy and adaptation to climate change

AT SOMFY, OUR ENVIRONMENTAL APPROACH​ IS FAR FROM A PASSING TREND.
