Camfil Sustainability Report 2022 Release: Making indoor air quality more sustainable
Riverdale, New Jersey, May 8, 2023 – The impact of the post-COVID-19 pandemic was still clearly evident on humanity in 2022. Economic, political, and business environment uncertainties were a daily norm. While the current global environment continues to present new challenges on all levels, the Camfil sustainability journey to make indoor air quality (IAQ) more sustainable continues to align with our vision: Clean air is a human right.
Working towards this vision, Camfil’s sustainability focus informs and guides the business in different ways – from research and development, and production to the supply chain. “Looking back at 2022, the words of Charles Dickens come to mind: it was the best of times, it was the worst of times,” says Mark Simmons, President and CEO of Camfil. “For 60 years, we have been on a journey to help people breathe cleaner air. While clean air may be invisible to the eye, its benefits on health, sustainability, and savings are clearly visible – making our vision even more relevant today.”
This report collects our sustainability efforts from 2022 and continues to steer our vision and business forward –sustainability is not something we do, but it continues to be what we are. Selected topics covered in our sustainability report are:
Chief Airgonomics Officer Initiative
Camfil launched the new Chief Airgonomics Officer Initiative, our indoor air quality (IAQ) advocacy program, prompting organizations worldwide to take accountability for indoor air quality (IAQ) by appointing a Chief Airgonomics Officer who can be “the voice of clean air” in the workplace.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)
Camfil´s air filtration solutions make a big impact in the industry and therefore environmental claims must be backed up by transparent analysis. For this reason, Camfil developed the Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) to reduce the carbon footprint and respond to customers’ requirements for sustainability.
EcoVadis Gold Rating
In 2022 Camfil partnered with EcoVadis, one of the world´s largest providers of business sustainability ratings. EcoVadis awarded Camfil Svenska AB with Gold Rating in the business category “Manufacturer of Special-Purpose Machinery Industry.”
Looking forward

Anne-Marie von Salis, Vice President of Sustainability at Camfil, affirmed: “In 2022 it was all about mapping Camfil’s sustainability work in order to find our key focus areas for the future. I can now confidently say that we are ready to take our sustainability work to the next level.”
