Sustainablity
Hunter Douglas is committed to being a responsible manufacturer, customer, employer, vendor and neighbour. Everything we do is designed to grow our business and our customers’ business and contribute to a more sustainable world. We actively encourage our employees, our customers and our partners to participate in initiatives that support the environment.
We've invested in renewable energy at our primary Australian manufacturing site where we've installed 2080 solar panels on our Sydney warehouse building. Providing jobs and supporting the local economy continuing our investment in Australian manufacturing. Our solar panels will generate 29,955,000 kWhs of power, the equivalent of planting 637,504 trees. Enough to power 4,608 Australian homes and save 8,911 tonnes of waste from landfill and save 24,862 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
SUPPORTING SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH GREAT DESIGN
For over 60 years Hunter Douglas has pioneered sustainability through the innovative design of our proprietary window treatments, advanced operating systems. Our solutions help reduce energy loss, save on heating and cooling costs to create more energy efficient and comfortable homes and offices.
Developed in response to the energy crisis of the late 1970s, our Duette® Honeycomb Shades were an industry innovation and the first product of its kind. The unique honeycomb construction traps air inside the cells to keep homes warmer in winter and cooler in the summer. With fabric opacities from sheer to opaque, Duette® Shades maximise light control and privacy, becoming the industry’s proven leader in both style and innovation.
SUSTAINABILITY AT THE WINDOW
Our innovative window treatments are inherently sustainable by design, helping control light and heat, conserve energy and optimise indoor environmental quality for improved comfort, health and productivity.
Beautiful by design with outstanding performance – our fabric shades are consistently recognised for excellence in energy saving properties, design and advanced lifting operation.
