Systemair Sustainability Progress 2025/26
Systemair has published its Sustainability Statement for 2025/26, outlining the company’s progress in reducing emissions, creating a supportive and attractive workplace, and strengthening responsible business practices. The statement also emphasizes the critical role of energy efficiency and the contribution of advanced ventilation systems to lowering building energy consumption while ensuring healthy and comfortable indoor environments.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has stated that the global pace of energy-efficiency improvements must double by 2030 if the world is to remain aligned with international climate objectives. Since buildings account for a substantial share of global energy consumption, improving the efficiency of ventilation systems can make an important contribution to reducing overall energy demand.
“Systemair is committed to continuous innovation in ventilation technology, with ongoing investment in the development and improvement of our products. Energy-efficient solutions remain a key priority, enabling us to enhance indoor air quality while helping reduce the energy required to operate buildings,” said Robert Larsson, President and CEO of Systemair.
