Every year, with the generous help of our Sustainability Partners, the kbbreview Retail & Design Awards is able to raise awareness of environmental issues with positive educational action. We also proudly support initiatives local to the venue as we offset our carbon footprint.
Here, we find out a little more about our 2025 Sustainability Partner ASKO…
“At ASKO, our commitment to environmental sustainability is deeply ingrained in our company’s values, reflecting the importance of nature in Scandinavian life and culture. Caring for the environment goes beyond mere consumption; it extends to minimising waste in production, considering the environmental impact during product usage, and addressing proper disposal.
“An early milestone in our sustainability journey is our attainment of environmental certification in accordance with the ISO14001 Environmental Management System, which we have held since 1999. This certification underscores our dedication to conducting all operations in the most environmentally friendly manner possible.
“We also hold the prestigious EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) certificate, recognised as one of the most credible environmental management tools in the market. This signifies our continuous commitment to environmental improvement and a steadfast focus on enhancing our environmental performance.
An exemplary practice at ASKO is our meticulous approach to recycling. All laundry and dishwasher components weighing more than fifty grams are clearly labelled for recycling, demonstrating our attention to sustainable practices throughout the lifecycle of our products.
“This is supported by all our products being built to last and tested to the equivalent of 20-years of usage, meaning they do not need to be replaced as often as other brands in the market, leading to less waste to dispose of. Alongside this, we place a focus on using quality steel parts rather than plastic wherever possible within our designs.”
