At Nilfisk, sustainability is woven into how we run our business. From developing innovative cleaning tools to ensuring transparent business practices, we are building a cleaner, more responsible future —together.
We help our customers solve real-world cleaning challenges while reducing our impact on people and the planet. At Nilfisk, sustainability is built into everything we do, from durable, efficient designs that have the potential to cut resource use and minimize costs - to ergonomic solutions that support operator wellbeing. Our efforts are guided by our customer needs and validated by ISO-certified systems, SBTi-aligned climate goals, and EcoVadis Gold recognition. Together, we are shaping a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Sustainability Rooted in Strategy
Nilfisk is dedicated to transparency and accountability in our sustainability performance. We set ambitious targets, monitor progress, and report regularly on key ESG metrics and KPIs to top management. This allows our customers to trust that we are a low risk partner for their business. Our sustainability commitments are embedded in Nilfisk’s value proposition and business strategy.
The foundation of our sustainability work is shaped by our annual Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) which allows us to continuously evaluate our sustainability impact.
