9 assaabloy.com Together we are Introduction Sustainability Our long-term commitment to science-based targets demonstrates our willingness to lead the industry towards a more sustainable future, and will further improve our competitiveness with sustainable products, solutions and operations. Innovation opens the door to a sustainable future. The market for energyefficient ’green’ buildings is growing, with increased demand for sustainable access solutions. We are leading this transformation to a ’circular economy’ where we maximise re-use of resources and minimise waste. Stepping up our targets to tackle climate change. With a global footprint, we have a global responsibility to do the right thing and play our part to mitigate climate change. And respecting our planet is also true to our purpose: helping people experience a safer and more open world. Developing a sustainable supply chain. That means acting in ways that reduce pollution, tackle climate change and raise the bar for fair and safe working conditions. BREEAM® (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) is one of the world’s leading sustainability assessment methods for green building certificates. Our EPD assessments can contribute towards green building certification such as BREEAM. Visit our website for more details of how our products align. “Sustainability will be vital to economic and industrial development in the coming decades” Nico Delvaux, President and CEO, ASSA ABLOY ASSA ABLOY is an official partner in the WGBC’s (World Green Building Council) Europe Regional Network. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are available for many of our products, which are marked up throughout this manual. The EPD assesses the data of the life-cycle of a product, from production of raw materials right through to the end of building life. Our aim is to make sure the door performs as intended from the first day to the last day of use. Design, construction, and management work hand in hand to make your business better. By understanding the day-to-day demands on a door, the flow of traffic through the building and the planned maintenance and refurbishment of the building, a tailored approach can be adopted. *GAI article -https://www.gai.org.uk/GAI/GAI_News/News-Items/2020/Industry-research-sheds-light-on-ironmongery-budget-estimates-.aspx Innovation Operations Supply chain management Our team can support you in understanding the true cost of door opening and how to ensure it safely operates all the time, time after time. Specifying and installing products which only meet the minimum requirements of a product standard should never be the default position during build stage. The product performance and cost should be evaluated throughout the life of the building, and a long-term approach should always be implemented. This long-term approach in turn helps to reduce the ongoing carbon footprint of a building ensuing a more sustainable solution. Door hardware typically accounts for a maximum of 1-2%* of a projects total cost, however if not correctly specified it can account for 30%* of the repair, maintenance and improvement cost in the following years.
