Belimo contributes to SDG 3 “Good Health and Well-Being” by ensuring optimum indoor air quality and wellbeing in rooms. Its intelligent HVAC components control the major factors affecting room climate: temperature, humidity, air flow, CO₂, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). High-performance HVAC systems and proper humidification strategies are required to maintain stable and healthy indoor air quality. For ensuring optimum conditions, Belimo sensors serve as a critical link between the HVAC system and the zones it serves.

Buildings and their HVAC systems play a critical role in the doubling of the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency stipulated by SDG target 7.3. An estimated 30% of all energy used in buildings is lost due to insufficiently controlled systems. By providing smart HVAC-controls, Belimo makes an active contribution to SDG 7 “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all.”

With its sustained economic growth and the continuous creation of new and attractive workplaces, Belimo contributes to SDG 8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth.” Other contributions include the empowerment of our employees, the fostering of their skills, and equal employment practices.

With respect to SDG 9 “Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure”, Belimo sets standards in HVAC damper actuator, control valve, and sensor and meter technologies. While the majority of Belimo field devices drive the energy efficiency of buildings, it is its fire and smoke actuators that contribute to their resilience.

By 2050, two thirds of all humanity – 6.5 billion people – will live in cities. The megatrend of urbanization actively drives the number of people living and working indoors and, with it, the necessity of intelligently controlled HVAC systems – namely, Belimo applications. Concerning SDG 11 “Sustainable Cities and Communities” Belimo helps make cities more sustainable and safer by providing products such as the Belimo Energy Valve™ or a wide range of safety actuators for motorized fire dampers and smoke control dampers.

Belimo contributes to SDG 12 “Responsible Consumption and Production” by upholding sustainable procurement practices and localized sourcing, minimizing waste, and optimizing logistics through the modularization of its product ranges and by applying environmental management standards at its main production sites.

Buildings are responsible for 40% of worldwide energy consumption and for the climate changes caused by their greennhouse gas emissions. Of this, another 40% is consumed by HVAC systems. The application of Belimo products saves energy in HVAC systems in buildings, thereby creating measurable sustainability benefits and significantly contributing to SDG 13 “Climate Action”.
