Protecting tomorrow today

On the move to a sustainable future, together

AXA Home Security has been in the hardware market for over 120 years. Besides providing a sustainable, innovative product, contributing to the security of our planet is very important. Because people, the environment and society are cared for within AXA, it was time to take another look at all processes. Thus AXA Home Security lives up to the sustainability campaign house slogan “Protecting tomorrow today.” AXA likes to show what steps are being taken towards a sustainable future.

Sustainable packaging

Anyone looking for a window lock or door hardware in a hardware store or wholesaler probably does not think about it: there is a lot of thinking involved in developing packaging. Especially, for those who want to make greener choices. Like us at AXA Home Security. And we like to show why (better for the planet and for all of us) and how we do it (with a lot of trial and error!). More information about the packaging is available on the ‘New packaging’ page.

Cradle to Cradle

The Cradle to Cradle Certified® product standard is an international certification for raw materials and products that can be fully reused in a way that retains their value (recycling) or even increases their value (upcycling). Our products are primarily made of aluminum and steel. We expect these materials to contain an amount of recycled material. However, this cannot be claimed through Chain of Custody or other documentation.

Also, the products are designed to be completely disassembled. After use, the various mono-material streams can be reprocessed through proper channels

Protecting tomorrow today: working together

Protecting people is the foundation of our business. This applies to our products, but since our founding, we have also been keen to look beyond the walls of our company to make society a little fairer, more equal and more empowering. We know from experience that we can only achieve this if we do it with and for each other. For example, we have been associated with Werkvoorziening Zuidoost Utrecht, the predecessor of the current social development company IW4, since its establishment sixty-five years ago. Thus everyone gets a chance to participate with pleasure in our field of work and AXA supports them in developing their potential.
