Innovation

Towards energy-efficient, sustainable access solutions

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do.

With rapidly increasing demand for more sustainable products, we focus heavily on green innovation and declare clearly to our customers what impact our products have on the environment. Our aim is to lead the transformation of our industry.

The Sustainability Compass

Using Sustainability Compass, an integral part of our product development and design criteria, responsibility and energy efficiency are ensured throughout the whole life cycle of products. 

The compass includes eight dimensions: raw materials, packaging, virgin material, end-of-life reusability, recyclability, in-life energy consumption, carbon footprint, and financial cost.

Each dimension is evaluated from a life cycle perspective and the goal is to have a lower impact than the previous product.

Digital innovations bring new opportunities for more sustainable solutions

At the same time sustainable development is increasing, the world continues to digitize, bringing new opportunities for even smarter and more energy-efficient products. Digital and completely keyless innovations reduce the need for mechanical products and optimize the movement of people and the operations of companies in a more sustainable direction.
