What are Keller’s environmental policies in short?
Keller has been a Carbon Neutral manufacturer for over five years; it is enshrined within the corporate social responsibility ethos. In 2021, the next step – to be a Carbon Negative manufacturer – was taken. This initiative extracts 150 tonnes of carbon from the air over a five-year period that will be put to good use in agricultural soils; the 150 tonnes is the equivalent carbon output of a normal kitchen manufacturer making 70,000 kitchens.
Keller’s goal in terms of sustainability is to learn, adapt and adopt technologies and processes that maintain our status as a world-leading force in sustainable manufacturing of kitchens. The company will never rest on its laurels and will eradicate as much CO2 as possible while making beautiful kitchens attainable that don’t cost the earth; all whilst taking care of our people, the planet and delivering adequate profit for our business and partners.
Becoming Carbon Negative is an all-encompassing circular process; from the materials Keller acquires from renewable sources to recycling old kitchens no longer required, and everything in between. This includes, for example, generating proprietary electricity from over 8,000 solar panels on the factory roof, using technology such as no glue laser edging, water-based lacquering, advanced production processes, recyclable packaging only, bio-mass heat/energy generation, greening of the entire fleet of vehicles, planting forests in Bolivia and more.
Keller is well known for offering the widest range of colours (1950 NCS) and finishes in the kitchen furniture market – as well as developing different cabinet sizes and colours and being a carbon neutral kitchen manufacturer.
Keller Kitchens is proud to be a Carbon Neutral kitchen manufacturer and has been since 2017.
