Product lifetime.
When designing, Abel always focuses on optimized lifetime. We use ultra low power communication technologies so the technical lifetime of our products is typically 10 to 20 years.
At the core of our mission lies a commitment to empower organizations to improve sustainability of their operational processes. Besides our mission we aim to minimize our own footprint and master circular product design for all solutions that we implement for our customers. By addressing sustainability at these three levels, we illuminate the path towards a brighter, greener future for all.
All our smart sensor solutions enable our customers to improve their impact on sustainability. Some examples by which our products are distinctive: encouraging sustainable mobility such as bicycles and trains, higher and better utilization of current infrastructure and facilities, reduction of driving movements through remote monitoring and optimization of logistical processes, more efficient use of ‘natural resources’ and reducing the use of pesticides.
To this end, we set medium-term goals every three years. Each year we quantify our ambitions, compile an emissions report and draw up an action plan and measures to minimize our environmental impact. We apply the five concepts of insight, reduction, transparency, monitoring and participation.
Our approach to reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions is certified by the CO2 performance ladder. Our approach includes concrete targets and measures for CO2 reduction in the areas of heating, electricity consumption and travel.
