Riverdale, NJ, June 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a year defined by heightened global expectations around corporate climate accountability, Camfil, a global leader in clean air technology, has published its 2024 Sustainability Report. The document offers a comprehensive, evidence-based account of the company’s ESG progress, centered around measurable goals, rigorous data collection, and alignment with the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
A Clear Shift from Rhetoric to Responsibility
Camfil’s latest sustainability report distinguishes itself with clear metrics and transparent reporting. The company disclosed total Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions of 33,262 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent in 2024, up from 30,866 in 2023. The increase is attributed to business expansion, with mitigation efforts underway, including LED retrofit programs at its Conover facility in North Carolina and solar energy installations in Haslingden, UK and Ipoh, Malaysia.
Camfil also advanced its commitment to circular design. Its AirCair Service—an end-to-end air filtration lifecycle solution—uses 100 percent renewable coconut-shell activated carbon and refillable CamCarb XG filters, significantly reducing landfill waste and industrial emissions.
Global Standards, Local Actions
With operations in more than 35 countries and a workforce of 5,700, Camfil’s sustainability efforts go well beyond policy. The company’s internal CamfilCairing 2024 campaign featured safety and health-focused activities across regional offices. Events ranged from emergency drills in Taiwan to employee wellness checks in the United Kingdom, all built around the theme “Safety First.”
Further, Camfil continues to influence industry-wide air quality benchmarks through its leadership in shaping ISO 16890, ISO 10121, and the upcoming Eurovent 4/26 standards. These contributions position the company not only as a manufacturer but as a global voice for clean air policy.
Data-Backed Innovation Driving Results
Camfil’s proprietary Life Cycle Cost (LCC) software remains a cornerstone of its customer engagement strategy. The tool, backed by decades of real-world data, allows commercial clients to optimize their HVAC filter choices for energy efficiency and cost savings. According to the report, HVAC systems can represent up to 50 percent of a commercial building’s energy consumption.
Case studies in Thailand and Mexico demonstrated real-world impact, with CO₂ reductions exceeding 8,800 tons annually and energy savings that translated into hundreds of thousands of euros in cost reductions.
Policy Meets Practice
The report also addresses risks and areas for improvement. Camfil’s first Double Materiality Assessment identified product recyclability, energy use, and labor conditions in global supply chains as priority areas. The company has responded by enhancing its supplier contracts, expanding whistleblower protections, and developing new governance frameworks to monitor these risks.
On the social front, Camfil has implemented a group-wide Code of Conduct training, expanded anti-corruption programs, and set gender equity targets, including increasing women in leadership roles to 35 percent by 2030.
