Electrolux included in Dow Jones Sustainability World Index

Committed to cutting energy use

Electrolux has once again been included in the prestigious Dow Jones
Sustainability World Index together with sustainability leaders from around the
world.

This is the ninth time Electrolux has been included on the index. Electrolux is
the only major household appliances company included in this year's World Index.

“Tackling sustainability challenges is a cornerstone in the Electrolux
strategy,” says Hans Stråberg, Electrolux President and CEO. “When we say
'Thinking of you,' it doesn't apply only to products but to the world around us
too."

“To raise the profile of our most environmentally sound appliances, each market
is now launching a green range of products with low energy consumption,”
continues Stråberg. “But our efforts don't stop at products. We have committed
to cutting energy use across all our factories and offices by 15% by 2009.”

The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index selects the leading companies in terms
of sustainability around the world. The Index is based on long-term economic,
environmental and social performance among top 10% of the world's 2,500 largest
companies. It is based on thorough analysis of corporate economic, environmental
and social performance assessing issues such as corporate governance, risk
management, branding, supply chain standards and labor practices. The Dow Jones
Sustainability World Index was launched in 1999 as the world's first equity
benchmark to track the financial performance of sustainable leaders on a global
scale. The Index is regularly verified by auditor PricewaterhouseCooper.
