Camfil joins Intel, Medscape and Microsoft in CBS Thought Leaders Series: The importance of indoor air quality in the workplace
Riverdale, New Jersey, July 2023 - The new CBS Global Thought Leaders Innovation and Disruption Leaders series features Camfil in its 60th year as a pioneer in shaping solutions for healthy indoor air. Healthier indoor air is a concern for every organization today, due to issues such as outdoor air pollution and climate change events, most recently the Canadian wildfires.
For Camfil, clean air is a human right, and the company’s mission is to spread awareness about the importance of healthy indoor air around the world. Ola Skoglund, Camfil’s VP of Group Marketing & Communication: “Every single day we talk to people who are not aware of the problem with bad air because they cannot see it. That is why we believe that companies should assign a Chief Airgonomics Officer to ensure that they have someone responsible for indoor air quality - someone, who gives clean air a voice.”
In an ever-evolving world, the ability to innovate and disrupt has become crucial for business growth and to meet our customer's needs. Disruption is the new normal and research and development are key to align to rapid advancements in technology. In this series, Camfil showcases the company’s expertise - which is to protect people, processes, and the planet with innovative air filtration solutions that provide clean, healthy, and productive indoor air.
Tobias Zimmer, Camfil’s Vice President of Global Product Management & International Standards:
“Ensuring a clean and healthy environment in terms of air pollution is crucial because, unlike food and drink, you cannot choose what you breathe. Still, in most parts of the world, national standards allow much higher air pollution levels than accepted by WHO’s air quality guidelines, which are based on the latest science. In a nutshell, 99% of the world’s population is breathing air that is above the safe WHO limits.”
The best way to protect people from air pollution is to provide healthy air in our buildings, where we spend up to 90% of our time in industrialized countries. “The air quality that we breathe indoors, is even more important than the pollution outside, and that can be fixed quickly because we can control the indoor environment”, says Tobias Zimmer.
Paula Nowojska, Camfil Product Manager: “Air quality can have a significant impact on economic output. For example, if you have bad air in your buildings, it will increase absenteeism. On the other hand, if you have clean air in your buildings, people will be more productive, it will increase their comfort and they will be just glad to come to work.”
“Our world thrives on innovation and disruption, and it is essential to recognize and celebrate those who drive positive change”, said Paolo Zanini, CEO of TBD Media. “We believe through the Innovation and Disruption Leaders campaign, this can also educate views around the world”.
