Operations of buildings account for 30% of global energy consumption, we aim to reduce that with each one of our clients.

Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do at FläktGroup, and this campaign will reflect and show what we are doing to make our services go green.
"I have been with the company for 18 years and I now work as our Global Director Services Operations."
With 18 years of experience within our company Nadine has a vast knowledge of our industry and really gets to grips with our service operations.
“I’m responsible for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of services across FläktGroup. I also ensure that our services operations are aligned with the strategic objectives of FläktGroup’s strategy.”
Our future, looks to increase our contribution to sustainability in the HVAC industry. It is important to us all that we look for sustainable alternatives that will benefit everyone in the long term. Our service team is one of the many turning cogs at our company that helps make this vision come to fruition.

Understanding our solutions
There is a lot of talk about ‘solutions’ but what does that mean?
When we talk about solutions, we mean integrated groups of products designed to deliver a specific outcome.
These can often be split into categories within critical applications, in which solution selling is best. Industries we support include:
- Data Centres
- Marine, Oil & Gas
- Car Parks & Tunnels
- Clean Rooms
- Pharma
- Healthcare & Hospitals
- Gigafactories
- Commercial buildings
- & more.
Industry settings, such as the ones listed, require controlled environments suitable to their individual needs and it is important that the proper equipment is implemented to give you the absolute best performance. Our solutions are the answer. A group of integrated products connected to give you the best performance possible.
We recently worked with an industrial customer with projects in four countries across Europe and Asia. Across that time, we:
- Retrofitted 145 AHUs
- Assembled 800 EC fans
- 6.100.000 kWh power reduction per year
- €900k in cost saving
- 1423 tonnes of CO2 emission reduced per year (this equal to approximately 21,346 tree seedlings grown for 10 years!)
The statistics don’t lie, and we aim to make more differences like this across numerous different projects. Will you commit to our solutions?

What is the purpose of this approach?
“There are many purposes behind this approach. One key aspect is presenting our sustainable Service portfolio as part of ESG.”
ESG stands for environmental, social and governance. It is an investing principle that prioritises environmental issues, social issues, and corporate governance. Something that we actively strive and invest in ourselves.
At FläktGroup we have an ESG Director for our company, Jekaterina Lindberg, who is coordinating our sustainable activities and reporting, as well as overseeing sustainability projects across our company. She had this to say:
"Though I’ve only recently stepped into my role, it's already evident that FläktGroup has the highest ambition regarding sustainability. We are now intensifying our efforts by defining strategic sustainability focus areas and setting clear targets and implementation roadmaps. Through this, we aim to meet—and hopefully exceed—the growing expectations of our customers and stakeholders when it comes to ESG."
We are incredibly excited for our sustainable future at FläktGroup, and we look forward to making our vision a reality.
What can FläktGroup Service support you?
“We really want to draw attention to opportunities for sustainability in HVAC.”
As leading innovators in the HVAC industry, we want to share our knowledge and expertise to everyone to make sure that they are maintaining sustainable practices. With this campaign we hope to attract people to our services so they too can directly benefit from us.
It is also about demonstrating what our Service organisation can deliver.
“If we take retrofit as an example of what our service team can provide, a unit should be used as long as possible. But old units might be inefficient or have high energy costs. Doing a retrofit, which means exchanging components to new designs, will reduce energy costs and carbon emissions, while using most of the old unit.”
The Vision
“We will continue to keep our focus on sustainable practices in service business and expand our green service portfolio. We will be watching out for new technologies that make our service team even smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable.”
Our vision is clear, our destination is clear, and our goal is clear. We want everyone to support the adoption of sustainable HVAC practices across the industry.
"We will leverage technology to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact. And by ensuring continuous improvement, we keep sustainable practices at the forefront.”
But what can our customers do to help?
"You can get in contact with us and discuss opportunities for sustainable Services. Be it a retrofit for an old unit or a new controls system, we will find a sustainable solution that in turns helps you to save energy and money. You will actively be contributing to a cleaner environment for all.”

"For me personally, sustainability is an important topic in my life, and I try to take it into account whenever possible. I am proud to work for FläktGroup, a company that is helping to improve indoor air quality, a factor that everyone comes to terms with. Our products are eco-friendly and energy efficient. But we do not stop there, because sustainability affects the entire product life cycle. In my job as Global Director Services Operations, I make sure that we also pay attention to sustainability in service. Our maintenance extends the product life cycle and with our retrofit solutions, we modernise old units to save energy and carbon emissions. We strive to use new technologies like remote access that also save CO2 emissions. It makes me happy to be able to combine this aspect privately and professionally. Sustainability always matters to create a green future.”
Just like Nadine, we are incredibly passionate about sustainability. We have the tools, the expertise, the craft, and the knowledge for a sustainable future but it starts with you.
