The union: only voluntary and incentivized exits. In Italy the total number is 222 cuts. Redundancy fund risk in 2023
There are 222 redundancies announced by Electrolux for Italy during a meeting with the trade unions. The most substantial personnel cuts will be absorbed by the Porcia plants which will see the exit of 40 employees and 36 workers (10 of whom in the spare parts warehouse), and Forlì which will instead see a cut of 19 employees and 77 workers. Redundancies for 25 employees in Susegana while the cuts will affect 10 employees in Solaro in the province of Milan. The site is also the protagonist of an investment process which in the next few years will see the company spending around 102 million euros to modernize the production lines. In Cerreto there will be 5 outgoing employees while in Assago there will be two redundancies.

The operation aims to be concluded within the first quarter of 2023 and provides for the use of the incentived Naspi instrument. The negotiation will continue in the individual plants.

Electrolux is aiming to make its operations climate neutral

Electrolux has reduced the energy consumed at its manufacturing sites per product by around 43% compared with 2005. This equates to an improvement in energy efficiency by around 3% every year for the last 10 years.

“We have significantly reduced our energy use through continuous energy management improvements, incorporating more renewable energy into our operations and by looking for energy efficient solutions in every step of our operations,” explains Giuseppe Caiulo, VP Group Operations Sustainability, Maintenance & EMS. “Some of our high-temperature processes such as enameling are a challenge, but we have broken down such complicated processes into different stages and are working to find out how we can reduce emissions in every step of the process

Electrolux is aiming to make its operations climate neutral by 2030 by working holistically throughout its global business. Achieving climate neutral operations is a part of the company’s broader climate neutrality roadmap for its entire value chain by 2050.

Electrolux has made good progress on its global Zero Waste to Landfill program in 2021. Today, improved waste management ensures that about 97% of the total waste produced by Electrolux sites is either reused or recycled. As sending waste to either incineration or landfill results in emissions, zero waste is crucial for achieving climate neutral operations
