Innovating for sustainability
Atlas Copco Group is committed to continuously improving our environmental performance and we believe in conducting business in a manner that preserves the planet for future generations.
We are an important partner for our customers in the development of energy storage solutions and products used in the production of renewable energy, such as solar panels, wind turbines and hydrogen. These segments are an increasingly important part of our business.
A life-cycle approach
We take a lifecycle approach to innovation. Each product is designed with its full impact in mind – from the carbon impact of materials and transports used, to its energy consumption and the end of the product’s life.
Through a strong service offering we ensure that our customers get the most value out of each investment. Our service divisions ensure the repair and reuse of products, extending their useful life and minimizing waste. They also provide support on how to optimally use the products, which enables energy-efficiency gains.
Many of the Group’s products are also designed so they can be returned, refurbished, and resold as used equipment. This contributes to increased circularity and such used equipment meet the same high standards as when they were new in terms of performance and energy efficiency. Many products also have a modular design, which supports circularity, as it enables easy disassembly so that parts can be replaced. This contributes to prolonging the life of the tool and reduced waste. Some of the Group’s units also collect contaminated products from customers, which otherwise would be disposed of as hazardous waste, and return them to full operation.
