The Meaning of "Sustainability"
(report)

Sustainable development meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their needs.

Sustainability as a business approach creates long-term shareholder value by embracing
opportunities, and managing risks from economic, environmental and social developments.

Sustainability and social responsibility combine in a concept whereby organizations take responsibility for
the impact of their activities on customers, employees, shareholders, communities and the environment.

Camfil Farr has a long and successful track record in the pursuit of green and sustainable strategies.
Developments as diverse as Hiflo Green, Ecopleat Green, Life Cycle Costing tools, Opakfil Green,
Camcarb Green, the SAVER analysis tool and Energy Cost Indexing illustrate a decades-long commitment
to environmental principles and practices, and environment-driven decision-making.

The Camfil Farr Sustainability Model is Threefold:

Social – We are committed to health preservation through controlled indoor air quality in public
residential and work environments, the safety of materials used in filter construction, and
cleanliness of ventilation installations.

Environmental – Camfil Farr reduces greenhouse gas emissions through energy-efficient filters,
and reduces environmental impact through good manufacturing practices and by supplying filters
that perform to their rated efficiency throughout their service life.

Economic – Our Life Cycle Cost Reduction Strategy is a powerful tool that helps customers achieve
greatest air filtration value, at lowest total cost. And because Camfil Farr filters perform at their
rated efficiency through the filter’s life, they directly contribute to higher overall productivity
and fewer days of sick leave.

“I want Camfil Farr to
be recognized as the
'sustainability leader'
in the air filtration
industry by our clients,
our partners and the
markets in which
we compete.”
