Ten sustainable innovations should be launched every year.

Sustainable working practices are based on cooperation and mutual development. This is why we involve our partners in Ahlsell's sustainability work by way of several innovation projects and challenge our suppliers to develop sustainable new innovations. This increases our sustainable product range and we can then offer the market at least ten new products or services per year. These innovations should, for example, be characterised by their user-friendliness, perform better and be more resource- and cost-efficient than their predecessors. Furthermore, they should allow for a safe and healthy working environment, minimise waste and contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

As a secondary goal within sustainable innovations, every product bearing our own brand name should be environmentally classified in the Building Materials Assessment.

In 2019, fifteen sustainable products and services were launched.

Some examples:

• Lead-free fittings
• Fristad Green collection
• LK HeatFloor slotted board
• Pfann rainwater tank
• Organowood alternative to impregnated decking
• Alternatives for one time plastic carrying bags
