By 2050, more than 200 million tons of solar panels will be out of use, according to RESPO DEEE Association data. Solar panels provide green energy and reduce carbon emissions worldwide, but their limited lifespan of up to 25 years is a serious environmental problem.
The Electrolux Group reached its set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions three years earlier. The group thus reduced its greenhouse gas emissions from direct and indirect operations by 82% and the emissions resulting from the direct use of household appliances by 25%.
It is still a long way to embedding ESG principles into corporate culture, operations, and decision-making processes. That was the main takeaway from a panel at CEE ESG Forum 2024 organised by Property Forum and Green Forum in Vienna last November.
