Sustainability is becoming a defining factor in how buildings are designed, operated, and future proofed. Our Sustainability Report 2025 highlights the progress being made - and more importantly, what it means for customers seeking high-performing, efficient, and future-ready sustainable HVAC solutions and indoor air quality solutions.
Delivering sustainable HVAC solutions for the evolving needs of modern-day buildings.
Whether you’re an HVAC engineer, property developer, facility manager or designer, this update offers clear and actionable insights into how we are helping the industry, and its many stakeholders meet the high demands of today’s performance standards.
1. Driving lower emissions through smarter operations
Reducing operational impact is a critical part of delivering more sustainable buildings and in 2025 we made some measurable progress in this area.
- Emissions linked to electricity use reduced by 30%, driven by increased use of renewable energy
- 40% of total energy now comes from renewable sources (up from 28% in 2024)
- Clear climate targets introduced, including a 42% reduction in emissions from operations and energy use by 2030 (Scope 1 and 2)
This progress is driven by improved energy sourcing, operational efficiency and a long-term transition to 100% renewable electricity across all manufacturing sites by 2030.
What this means for you: You gain access to partners and solutions aligned with carbon reduction targets and evolving regulatory frameworks.
2. Enabling better decisions with transparent product data
One of the biggest shifts in the industry is the growing need for transparent, comparable product data and that can be found in our Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). In 2025 we significantly expanded our EPDs:
- EPDs now represent 59% of total revenue (up from 2% in 2024)
- Target to reach 95% product coverage by 2026
- Continued investment in lifecycle analysis and product-level emissions data
EPDs provide verified insight into environmental impact across the full product lifecycle, supporting green building certifications, procurement requirements and design decisions.
What this means for you: You can specify sustainable HVAC solutions with confidence backed by credible data for compliance report and project approvals. And you can see all our EPD certified products directly here:
3. Supporting energy efficiency across the building lifecycle
Sustainability doesn’t just stop at installation, the performance across the entire lifecycle is critical. Our Service team led approach is helping customers extend system life and reduce energy demand:
- Retrofit and lifecycle services deliver energy savings of up to 30%
- Increased focus on maintenance, upgrades and digital monitoring
- Expansion of circular solutions
By improving existing systems rather than replacing them, customers can achieve faster carbon and cost reductions.
What this means for you: More efficient systems, lower operational costs and reduced environmental impact across the entire building lifecycle. Want to know if your system qualifies for retrofit? Read this article:
4. Improving indoor environments with high-performance solutions
As performance standards rise, so does the importance of indoor air quality solutions. We continue to prioritise systems that can deliver clean, safe and efficient indoor environments. Catering to commercial buildings to critical environments like healthcare and data centres.
- Focus on high-efficiency ventilation and filtration
- Integration of smart controls and monitoring
- Solutions designed to meet strict regulatory and safety requirements
What this means for you: You can deliver healthier, more compliant buildings while balancing energy performance and occupant comfort.
5. Strengthening safety, skills and organisational resilience
Sustainability also means building a strong, safe and capable organisation. We’ve demonstrated this through our progress in workplace safety:
- Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) reduced from 31 to 18 year on year
- Strengthened global safety standards and reporting practices
- Continued investment in leadership, skills and employee development
These improvements support long-term reliability across operations and service delivery.
What this means for you: A more resilient partner, with consistent quality, safety and expertise across global projects. In fact, we have over a decade of experience in the HVAC industry, you can read more about our history and expertise here:
