Sustainable product innovation

Delivering world-class innovation requires a process that takes into account customer needs, and that can meet them with value-adding solutions in an efficient and sustainable way.

The environmental impact of ASSA ABLOY's products and the processes in which they are produced, are decided mainly in the development phase. Material choice and quantity, manufacturing process, energy savings and other sustainability aspects are all decided on during the product development. Group companies use the Group’s Product Innovation Process and environmental checklist for all new product development.

We can help our customers make green choices by identifying those of our products that qualify for rating systems, such as LEED.
