Responsible Consumption and Production
Extending product lifecycles, minimising waste and promoting circular thinking.
At Genelec, sustainable design is at the heart of everything we do. From the very beginning, we’ve focused on creating sound reproduction solutions that are long-lasting, serviceable and energy-efficient – helping our customers reduce their environmental footprint while offering exceptional performance.
Everything model we create is crafted to deliver decades of reliable use, with robust spare part availability and support services that extend well beyond the wider industry's typical lifecycle. This approach not only reduces waste but encourages responsible consumption.

Our commitment to the circular economy is reflected in initiatives like our Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) programme and Trade-In concept, which extend the useful life of Genelec products by refurbishing and reselling them or reusing valuable parts.
We prioritise recycled aluminium for our enclosures and strive to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging and other materials. In 2023, 97% of the aluminium used in our products was recycled aluminium.
As a manufacturer, we actively manage and reduce waste within our operations. We continuously monitor our waste recycling rate and invest in improvements – In 2023, 60% of our waste was recycled, in 2024 63% and we’re targeting 65% in 2025.
