Our mission is to minimise the carbon impact of lawn care
We want you to enjoy the process of creating the garden of your dreams while minimising your impact on the environment. That’s why at Husqvarna, we’re on a mission to reduce the carbon impact of lawn care.
One of our key ambitions is to drastically minimise the carbon emissions associated with the Automower® range – from production through to use phase and end of life. This goal is part of our broader Sustainovate initiative, where we are committed to a 35% reduction in carbon emissions across our entire value chain by 2025.
Of course, by choosing Automower® as opposed to a petrol-driven product, you’ve already taken a step towards cutting your garden’s carbon footprint.
