Batteries, lighting, and energy storage systems: it’s in the DNA of Elfa Elementenfabriek. But we know that there is more than just our products. Sustainability is our top priority because we understand how important it is to leave a healthy living environment for the generations after us. We take that responsibility seriously, and we demonstrate it through the initiatives and measures we have taken. Our commitment to sustainable business is further confirmed by our ISO 14001 certification.
Elfa Elementenfabriek collaborates with Trees for All, a Dutch organization that plants trees and restores forests worldwide. Trees for All is committed to sustainable forest management and combating deforestation, both in the Netherlands and internationally.
In 2023, thanks to this collaboration, we compensated for 75.31 tons of CO2. This contributes to reducing our ecological footprint and supporting biodiversity and local communities.
In 2024, we signed a long-term partnership with Trees for All, ensuring that we can continue to offset our entire CO2 emissions in the future and contribute to a greener world.
Elfa participates in the Clean Advantage program, where we offset the CO2 emissions from our fuel consumption. For every liter of fuel we consume, Fleetcor calculates the corresponding CO2 emissions. Then, on behalf of Elfa, investments are made in certified CO2 offset projects, both locally and globally. In 2023, we offset 4,624 kg of CO2 emissions in this way.
This contribution supports various projects, from forest restoration to the deployment of clean energy sources. By offsetting our fuel consumption in this way, we not only contribute to a greener world but also demonstrate our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

Elfa supported the StrandRover project in 2023; this is an initiative by students from Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen. This project focuses on keeping our beaches clean by collecting and recycling waste, contributing to the preservation of the natural environment.
Elfa contributed by supplying high-quality batteries that power the electric vehicles of the StrandRover. This makes the project not only effective but also environmentally friendly. By collaborating with these students and providing clean energy for coastal clean-up, Elfa is committed to a more sustainable future and demonstrates its commitment to corporate social responsibility.
In addition to supporting sustainable initiatives, Elfa has also made its office building in Lijnden more sustainable. A significant step in this was making our building energy-neutral by installing solar panels on the roof of our headquarters.
Thanks to these solar panels, we generated over 40 megawatt-hours of energy last year, allowing us to operate completely energy-neutral.
