Haier Europe\u2019s Sustainability Report 2025 sets out progress in renewable electricity and appliance efficiency <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewable electricity exceeds 80% and operational emissions fall by nearly 63% year on year, alongside progress in circularity and connected services <\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haier Europe has published its Sustainability Report 2025<\/strong>, presenting its environmental, social and governance performance and the priorities guiding its work across operations, products and business relationships. Covering the period from 1 January to 31 December 2025, the document has been prepared with reference to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards<\/strong> (ESRS), supporting the company\u2019s compliance with applicable Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across Haier Europe\u2019s operations, renewable electricity accounted for over 80% of electricity use<\/strong> in 2025, compared with 45% in 2024. Combined Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions decreased by nearly 63%<\/strong>, reaching around 13,600 tonnes of CO\u2082 equivalent, down from around 36,600 tonnes the previous year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These results support Haier Europe\u2019s climate roadmap, which includes targets to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% and emissions from the use of sold products by 42% by 2030, against a 2021 baseline, alongside the ambition to achieve operational carbon neutrality by 2050. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Haier Europe, sustainability is integral to the way we make decisions, innovate and grow. The direction set out in this report reflects a transformation that goes beyond individual initiatives: it is about building a more resilient business that creates lasting value for consumers, employees, partners and the communities in which we operate,\u201d<\/em> says Karim Bruneo, Communication, Public Affairs, ESG and Sustainability Director, Haier Europe<\/strong>.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening operational performance<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renewable electricity from procurement and on-site solar generation more than doubled compared with 2024<\/strong>, reaching around 42,700 MWh in 2025. These complementary sources support the company\u2019s energy transition across its manufacturing footprint, with renewable energy projects in T\u00fcrkiye, Italy and China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resource management is another area of progress. Haier Europe recorded a waste recycling rate of over 98%<\/strong>, while the T\u00fcrkiye site achieved Zero Waste to Landfill status through material recycling. More than 31,000 tonnes of waste electrical and electronic equipment were collected and around 27,600 tonnes of recycled materials recovered. Packaging initiatives focus on reducing unnecessary materials and improving recyclability, supporting the company\u2019s target of fully recyclable packaging by 2030. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing efficiency into everyday routines<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of sold products remains the largest contributor to carbon footprint, making appliance efficiency and daily use central to its sustainability strategy. Haier Europe develops solutions around everyday consumer needs<\/strong>, focusing on energy efficiency, connected functionality and care across washing, refrigeration, cooking and dishwashing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Haier-branded washing machines offered on the market are rated A Class<\/strong>. The X Series 11\u2019s Soft Wash water-softening system<\/strong>, for example, improves detergent performance at lower temperatures, helping consumers care for fabrics while reducing the need for higher-temperature washing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In refrigeration, energy-efficient ranges are complemented by connected functions<\/strong> that help users manage food storage. Proactive Temperature<\/strong> adjusts fridge settings in response to factors such as weather and shopping habits, while Smart Food Locator<\/strong> offers guidance on where to store different foods to help preserve freshness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking innovations bring efficiency into meal preparation: A++ connected ovens<\/strong> offer functions that remove the need for preheating<\/strong> and allow several dishes to be cooked on multiple levels<\/strong> in a single cycle. In dishwashing, load-sensitive programmes<\/strong> and smart dosing<\/strong> adapt washing to what is inside the appliance, while Half-Load Pro<\/strong> allows users to target a specific basket when washing smaller loads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
