greenhouse gas emissions in Europe.

Somfy has been a leading player in the housing industry for more than 50 years.

We are taking measures to reduce our everyday carbon footprint and also to help our customers and partners reduce theirs.

Our actions to reduce our environmental impact

Somfy propose eco-designed products that have a reduced environmental impact throughout their lifecycle.

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.
How it works?

How it works?

Our approach is based on five criteria:

  • Low energy standby mode (<0.5 Watt for motors, < 1 Watt for smart home boxes)
  • Long battery life
  • Easy disassembly for maintenance, repairs and recycling
  • Majority of recycled, renewable and recyclable materials for product packaging
  • Verification by an external laboratory that raw materials and substances used comply with environmental and health requirements.

Product Environmental Declaration:

As part of our eco-design commitment, products meeting these standards receive the PEP Ecopassport®, which assesses our rigorous environmental impact calculations (www.pep-ecopassport.org). With over 200 PEP Ecopassport® sheets, covering nearly all our best-selling products, Somfy offers one of the most extensive portfolio on the market.

ENVIRONMENT OR COMFORT, NO NEED TO CHOOSE!

Why should investing in the environment always have a downside?

Why should investing in the environment always have a downside?

At Somfy, we fight for the environment and for the comfort of our customers without changing their habits. 93% of the CO2 emissions we produce come from our products and their use.

We have to face this reality.

That's why we have been committed to an eco-design approach to products since 2015 with the goal of changing the entire life cycle of our solutions without impacting our end customer.

The result: a win-win solution for the planet and the user!
Our objective by 2030?

 Achieve 100% of eco-designed products sold.

Somfy introduce solutions that improve energy efficiency in homes and buildings, thereby reducing emissions of CO2.

Our solutions help avoid greenhouse gas emissions in buildings
We develop solutions to optimise building energy performance.​ This is a major issue, as this sector is one of the largest emitters of CO2.

Thanks to intelligent solar​ protection and roller 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 motorisation solutions​ and automating roller 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
