“We plan for this program to grow globally,” adds Malin Ekefalk, Director Social Responsibility & Community Investment, Electrolux. “We are looking for additional Electrolux locations, where we can set up the program together with our partners Worldchefs and AIESEC.”

Like a Chef will roll out in:
Sweden – Ten women are taking part in the program at Yalla Rinkeby, a worker-owned social enterprise to help immigrant women in Stockholm. The training kitchen has been equipped with a donation of Electrolux Professional appliances and courses will run four times per year.

Paris, France · 27 September 2019 · Education for Employment with White Rabbit Family and Chef Vladimir Mukhin
The below article has been translated from Russian. Original links can be found below.
“I’m a Chef” is a charity project by Electrolux Russia, helping to provide professional development to youth leaving orphanages and teenagers living in foster homes or in heavy life circumstances. The program was developed under the guidance of Electrolux Food Foundation and Worldchefs, part of the Feed the Planet initiative Education for Employment.
On 27 August, the final event of the 2019 “I’m a Chef” project was held. This year was supported by the renowned and the best restaurant chain in Russia, White Rabbit Family (WRF), and by Vladimir Mukhin – #10 Best Chefs Award in 2018. He is also the brand chef of White Rabbit Restaurant, which is #13 in World’s 50 Best Restaurants.
Over the course of 2 months, 15 teenagers were trained in basic cooking skills under the guidance of professional chefs in the Worldchefs community. The programme took place at the base of 1st Moscow Educational complex restaurant business faculty, fully equipped by Electrolux Professional and Electrolux household appliances.
Within the framework of the program, the students also had the unique chance to visit WRF restaurants to see the work of real kitchens and to meet the brand chefs, gaining a deeper understanding of the profession. The students met with Vladimir Mukhin (Chef’s Table), Anatoly Kazakov (Selfie, 65th in the World’s 50 Best), Olga Suzdalkina (Chicha), Vitaly Istomin and Alexey Kogay (Sakhalin) and Andrey Koshkodan (Luciano), who is also a former orphanage graduate.
On 26 August the students were tested by Vladimir Mukhin in the training kitchen.
On 27 of August the final event took place, where the students demonstrated the skills gained during their 8 weeks of study. They were divided into 4 teams. Every team cooked its own dish: starter, soup, main dish or dessert. The jury consisted of media representatives and WRF chefs. They were judging the People’s Choice competition. The jury was presented by: Vladimir Mukhin, Alexey Kogay, Anatoly Kazakov, Irina Zarkova and mass media representatives.
The participants were further awarded by Electrolux and the White Rabbit Family.
The main prize for the winners was the opportunity to hone their skills in WRF restaurants. At the end of the final, Vladimir Mukhin announced that he would in fact take all the students to practice in the restaurants after a personal talk with each participant to define the individual details, helping to choose the right place for everyone.
Vladimir Mukhin shared, “There was a rule in the project, that I have to choose the best students for practicing, but I got used to breaking rules, so I decided to invite all the students. We will meet with everyone and decide individually, which restaurant will suit best in every case. Remember, being a chef is a very hard daily work. Every chef passes through the fall downs and the periods of bad luck, which at the end make us stronger.”

Mukhin continued, “It is not a secret that my work is a dream job. My work is my main living place, but as a change, every day I get satisfaction from the creative process: from people I work with, from the traveling and getting new knowledge. What is more, this profession is well paid. Long ago I realized that sharing the skills and knowledge is a vitally important habit. It provides a circulation of energy and makes you happy. I will feel happy if we manage to motivate the guys and someone will have a wish to become one of us. We can not help all, but if we help at least one of the guys, it means that we managed to do a great job.”
In Russia, approximately 6000 teenagers graduate from orphanages each year. They find themselves going into adulthood with very little life experience, as they are generally not taught independence while in orphanages. Most of them find it difficult to perform even basic tasks like using public transport, buying groceries or cooking. They also often struggle with a choice of profession.
In order to help such teenagers, Electrolux in Russia launched “I’m a Chef” – a charitable culinary education project. The program gives children the opportunity to master the profession of a chef. They also learn how to work in teams and start to understand the requirements for building a career in hospitality.
The program was launched last year and the results of the first wave were also impressive. In April 2019, Oleg Laptev and Angelina Oparina – two finalists from 2018 – took part in the national professional competition “Chef a la Russe”, where they came in at a 4th place in the “Juniors” nomination. This year, Oleg Laptev is assisting a chef in second wave of the “I’m a Chef” project. During the project, Oleg got an offer to practice his skills in one of WRF restaurants, Luciano, under the guidance of Luciano brand chef Andrey Koshkodan, who is also a former orphanage graduate.
“It is important for us to convey to these kids that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, can change both their present and future,” says Pavel Potapov, General Director of Electrolux in Russia.

Paris, France · 29 August 2019 · Electrolux celebrates 100-year anniversary with action plan for sustainable living and funding for Food Foundation
Sweden’s Electrolux today introduced the Better Living Program, a plan to enable better and more sustainable living for consumers around the world through 2030. With bold targets focusing on better eating, better garment care and a better home environment, the initiative widens the scope of Electrolux commitment to sustainability and enables the company and its brands to contribute in a meaningful way on key global challenges.
The original link can be found below.
“At Electrolux we take a lot of pride in the way our appliances have helped shape hundreds of millions of people’s home lives for the better over the past 100 years. At the same time, the way all of us live our lives today also poses a great challenge for a sustainable future. As a global leader in home appliances, Electrolux has a tremendous opportunity to eliminate barriers that are keeping consumers and the industry from making sustainable choices,” said Jonas Samuelson, CEO at Electrolux. “That’s where the Better Living Program comes in: it’s a to-do list which sets the direction for our company on a global level. Everything, from product development to the way we do business and communicate with consumers, will be impacted by this.”
Four new 2030 targets have been defined, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and integrated with Electrolux overall sustainability strategy:
- Make sustainable eating the preferred choice
- Make clothes last twice as long with half the environmental impact
- Make homes free from harmful allergens and pollutants.
- Make our business circular and climate neutral.
As a first action, the company intends to annually fund the Electrolux Food Foundation until 2030, with an expected total of SEK 100 million. The additional funding will contribute to making sustainable eating the preferred choice as the foundation supports employee and partner initiatives. For example, by 2030 the Food Foundation seeks to offer education for children and culinary training programs for unemployed and professionals to at least 300,000 people, and support millions of people in need through global and local programs and partners.
The Better Living Program will drive and put the spotlight on at least 100 actions which give a significant and direct contribution to its 2030 targets. These actions, which can be within the scope of the company’s regular business as well as run through external partnerships and spearhead initiatives, will be presented continuously on www.betterlivingprogram.com.
Widening the scope of sustainability
Launched to coincide with the company’s 100-year anniversary on August 29, the Better Living Program means Electrolux – which has been ranked as an industry sustainability leader by multiple independent organizations – is taking an even more holistic approach to sustainability.
Electrolux sustainability efforts have primarily focused on its operations and supply chain in society (which account for 15% of the company’s climate impact), and the energy consumption from use of products (which accounts for 85%). These remain key focus areas and – with the new target to become circular and climate neutral – Electrolux will maintain a strong approach to manage the company’s direct and indirect environmental impact.
“Now, with the Better Living Program, we’re also committing to drive change in the major usage areas of our products. While more complex to measure, it’s clear that how we all preserve and prepare food or care for our clothes, for example, significantly impacts the environment,” said Henrik Sundström, Head of Sustainability Affairs at Electrolux. “With the targets of the program, we’re strengthening Electrolux ambition to develop solutions that enable sustainable choices in the day-to-day. We also want to engage with consumers on a deeper level to provide inspiration and information.”
This new commitment will be reflected in an updated version of the company’s full sustainability framework, which will be presented later this year together with new targets relating to other relevant sustainability issues, such as an increased use of recycled materials.
Validated by consumer research and science
The relevance of the four 2030 targets within the Better Living Program has been validated by a recent survey – the Better Living Report – which was commissioned by Electrolux to explore consumer attitudes and challenges when it comes to sustainable living.
Make sustainable eating the preferred choice
With approximately 30% of global climate emissions coming from production of food and a third of all food produced going to waste, Electrolux will work to enable more consumers to store, cook and eat food in a way that benefits both people and planet. Furthermore, even though the bulk of the food industry emissions come from animal products, only 1 out of 5 consumers see the significance of plant-based food for more sustainable eating according to the report.
Working towards this target, Electrolux will accelerate its leadership in food preservation solutions that help reduce food waste, and develop cooking solutions that increase the ease and attractiveness of sustainable food choices.
Make clothes last twice as long with half the environmental impact
Fashion is another industry with a significant climate impact. Taking care of clothes to extend their life drastically reduces the carbon footprint. However, while 7 out of 10 consumers agree that this is the most important choice for sustainability in this area, only 3 out of 10 wash at lower temperatures or wash less frequently.
Working towards this target, Electrolux will continue to improve fabric care technology to increase the longevity of clothes and to reduce water and energy consumption. The company will also partner with stakeholders such as the clothing and detergent industry, to drive innovation and inspire consumers to adopt more sustainable care habits.
Make homes free from harmful allergens and pollutants
Indoor air pollution can be up to five times higher than outdoor air pollution and is a significant health hazard according to the World Health Organization. But while almost 8 of 10 consumers believe indoor air quality is important, half of these feel they lack the tools to act upon it, the Better Living Report showed.
Working towards this target, Electrolux will accelerate development of sophisticated air and climate solutions that optimize indoor air. Another opportunity is to explore new ownership models that enable more consumers to improve their home environment.
Make our business circular and climate neutral
Sustainability has been an integral part of Electrolux strategy for many years. The new target means committing to zero carbon emissions from Electrolux facilities around the world. It also means striving for circularity in everything we do. To this end, Electrolux will focus on developing circular business models and product designs that improve overall resource efficiency.
Working towards this target, Electrolux will significantly increase its use of renewable energy, for example by installing solar panels throughout its facilities. Exploring opportunities for circularity, the company will also aim for zero waste to landfill from factories, and drive a project aiming to develop a fully recycled and recyclable concept vacuum cleaner.

The biggest number of workshops in a day took place in India as schoolchildren earned their superpower status.
Food Heroes is a global initiative supported by Electrolux Food Foundation along with partners to teach the future generation how better eating makes for a healthier planet.
In the city of Hyderabad, 85 classrooms across five schools opened their doors and 400 workshop facilitators flooded through. Trained one day prior, the volunteers were delegates at the annual AIESEC International conference.
AIESEC, along with Worldchefs make up the partnership trio that together with the Electrolux Food Foundation is bringing Food Heroes to fruition around the world.
Young leaders, chefs and employees from these organizations have taken the program to heart and their global networks are invaluable in spreading the message and taking workshops to offices, schools and kitchens.
The free-to-use toolkit was developed through the UNICEF sustainability initiative World’s Largest Lesson and is available in a multitude of languages.
Aimed at kids aged 8–12, the lesson plan inspires children to challenge and change their own food habits in a fun and playful way.
