Sustainability & design since 1962
We have a great love of Swedish tradition and our Halland roots. Since the beginning, we have had a passion for quality and a vision that everything can be done a little better. Economising on resources and creating long-term solutions is simply part of our DNA. By reducing our CO2 footprint by 50% by 2030, we want to help fulfil the Paris Agreement. You can read more about our sustainability goals in detail in our Sustainability Report.
50% less CO2 by 2030
By 2030, we will reduce our carbon footprint by 50%, with 2021 as the base year. To achieve this goal, we plan to continue to actively choose better modes of transport such as boat instead of truck, compensate by investing in more environmentally friendly fuel for our boat transport and support our subcontractors in setting science-based targets so that they can also reduce their carbon emissions.
100% certified wood raw material 2026
We already have strict traceability requirements for the wood raw material used in our products, but we are not stopping there. Our goal is that by 2026, 100% of all wood raw material in Hafa's products will be traceability certified, from sustainable and responsible forestry to the final product.
100% FOSSILFRI ENERGI SEDAN 2022
Vi har sedan 2022 investerat stort i våra anläggningar för att ersätta all fossil gasuppvärmning, med uppvärmning från luft- och fjärrvärme. Där till har vi investerat ytterligare i LED-belysning i våra fastigheter. All energiförbrukning i våra anläggningar i Sverige i dag kommer från 100% förnybara energikällor.
We make a difference together
We can also make a difference together with small, simple means. A bathroom is renovated every 10-15 years, and we ensure that the quality of our products will last the life of the bathroom, and then some. Our guarantee is one of the longest in the industry, with 25 years on bathroom furniture and our most popular shower ranges. If you're looking to repair or upgrade your Hafa bathroom fittings, here are our thoughts and ideas on what we can do together to economise on our resources.
RE | USE
Our products are designed for long-term use. Hafa products can be given a new lease of life by repairing and reusing them or selling them on. Renew with new doors, repaint, replace worn parts and update with modern handles. With a generous 25-year warranty on our bathroom furniture and most popular showers, along with an extensive stock of spare parts, we aim to extend the lifespan of our products and thereby reduce the need for new materials.
RE | DUSE
Reducing our use of natural resources is the way we can make the biggest difference to the environment together. At Hafa, we have worked hard to completely phase out fossil fuel based heating of our premises and switched all lighting to LED and through our outlets we make sure to completely sell out our discontinued products when they can no longer be sold through our regular sales channels. We analyse and calculate our products and their environmental footprint through EPDs (Environmental Product Declaration). The EPD shows how we can most effectively improve and reduce the product's footprint. This can include designing the product for more efficient production with minimal waste and choosing materials with the least possible impact on health and the environment. There are also continuous improvements for more efficient use of packaging materials and a constant search for new materials to reduce the need for virgin materials.
RE | CYCLE
At the end of the product life cycle, we have made sure to design our products for easy disassembly and material separation. This facilitates the separation of each material so that they can be used as efficiently as possible to either produce energy, or be reused as materials in the manufacture of new products. By reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, we reduce our environmental impact and promote a more sustainable use of our resources.
TOGETHER WE TAKE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
At Hafa, we constantly strive to attract, develop and retain competent and motivated employees. Together, with joint efforts, we can develop our health and work environment close to us, at our suppliers and our fellow human beings around the world.

Sustainability focus for our products
Of course, we follow mandatory directives and regulations for our products, but we also work closely with external parties who review our products from a human and environmental perspective. The review, and the assessment that follows, makes it easier to make a better choice when buying a product from Hafa. In addition, we are constantly improving the quality of our products.
SUNDA HUS ASSESSED PRODUCTS
We have products assessed by SundaHus, an independent third party that systematically works towards a society free of substances hazardous to health and the environment. Our products can be found in SundaHus Environmental Data.
CONSTRUCTION PRODUCT DECLARATIONS
Construction product declarations are a document containing detailed information about a product. The declaration shows how a product should be handled during the construction phase, the use phase and when it becomes waste. It also provides information on the content and environmental impact of the product. You can find our construction product declarations as PDFs on our website or at byggvarudeklarationer.se to easily fulfil your documentation needs. These are stored for 10 years even after the product has been discontinued, so you can feel confident in your choice.

THE CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS ASSESSMENT
We have products assessed by Byggvarubedömningen. They assess and provide information on environmentally assessed products and promote product development towards a non-toxic and healthy built environment.
ROHS
The RoHS Directive aims to reduce risks by replacing and restricting the hazardous chemical substances in electrical and electronic equipment. To comply with this directive, we are continuously working on technical documentation, CE marking, Declaration of Conformity and labelling all products according to the applicable standard.
FSC-labelled paper
Our catalogue is printed on FCS-labelled paper. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council and is an independent, international membership organisation that promotes environmentally sound, socially responsible and economically viable management of the world's forests through its FSC certification system.
Green dots
The Green Dot shows that the packaging levy has been paid in the country where the packaging/packaged product is sold. It is also a symbol for the collection and recycling of packaging. All our packaging is labelled with the Green Dot.
Producer responsibility of the industry
We are affiliated to the NPA, the industry's producer responsibility for recycling packaging. We take responsibility for the recycling of packaging even after the consumer's end use.
