2018, the company is mobilised around a global approach of eco-responsibility, We Act for Green. It is organised around three pillars: Green buildings, Green products, Green teams.
We act in favour of more efficient buildings and for the wellbeing of their inhabitants.
We aim to improve people’s living environment by meeting their expectations in terms of comfort, security and energy savings.

We act in favour of more responsible practices.
We create a community of Green Ambassadors and implement eco-friendly practices in all SOMFY Group sites!
