Our approach to environmental management
Environmental considerations are incorporated into our product development and manufacturing processes. We aim to use resources responsibly throughout the product lifecycle, from production and use to end-of-life treatment and recycling.
Since 1999, ASKO manufacturing sites have been certified to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard. Selected facilities also participate in the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), a framework that supports the monitoring, reporting, and continuous improvement of environmental performance.
To support material identification and recycling, components weighing more than 50 grams in our laundry appliances and dishwashers are labelled in accordance with applicable recycling requirements. ASKO also works to improve the energy and resource performance of its products in line with applicable regulations and product-specific performance requirements.
EcoVadis recognition
As part of the Hisense Europe Group, the European manufacturing company behind ASKO appliances has been awarded an EcoVadis Platinum Medal. EcoVadis assesses companies in areas including environmental management, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The Platinum Medal is the highest recognition within the EcoVadis rating system and reflects performance within the scope of the assessment.
