Achieved water reduction goal
As of Dec. 31, 2025, Allegion reduced its water usage intensity by 20% compared to our 2020 baseline year, meeting our goal of using 20% less water than we did in 2020 by 2030.
In our ESG Goals & KPIs section, you’ll find year-over-year data for both normalized data and the actual volume of water used. While volume may vary due to factors such as production output, active hours or the number of sites we operate, normalized data allows us compare "apples-to-apples."
1 Data is normalized to hours worked. To the extent actual hours worked are not available for any full-time employee, an average of 40 hours per week is used.
2 Actual data is collected for most production, assembly, distribution and warehouse facilities globally. For all other facilities, data is estimated based on the assumptions below:
• 15 gallons (or 57 liters) of water used per employee per workday.
• 2,700 British Thermal Units of natural gas usage and 1.5 kilowatt hours of electricity usage per square footage per month for office type facilities.
• 2,000 British Thermal Units of natural gas usage and 0.6 kilowatt hours of electricity per square footage per month for all other facility types.
• 40 pounds (18 kilograms) of non-hazardous waste per employee per month.
3 Data associated with non-routine activities not related with production, assembly or distribution are excluded.
4 Data associated with acquisitions made in 2024 and 2025 is excluded.
5 Data associated with fleet fuel usage has not been included.
GHG emissions intensity (Scope 1,2) reduced by 38%
As of Dec. 31, 2025, Allegion reduced its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 38% compared to our 2020 baseline year. By 2030, we aim to achieve a 40% reduction in GHG emissions intensity for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
In 2024, Allegion increased its GHG emission intensity (Scope 1 and Scope 2) target from 25% to 40% based on continued improvements in its operations.

Waste non-landfill rate 94%
In 2025, Allegion achieved a waste non-landfill rate of 94%. The waste non-landfill rate is an essential metric for evaluating environmental performance because it reflects an organization's commitment to sustainability and resource conservation.
Reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill lowers the environmental impacts of waste disposal, including greenhouse gas emissions, soil and water pollution and depletion of natural resources.
Measuring the share of waste not sent to landfill — including recycling, reuse, recovery and incineration — allows organizations to track progress in reducing landfill disposal and in implementing effective waste-management practices such as source reduction, recycling programs and alternative treatment options. A high non-landfill rate demonstrates a commitment to responsible practices, serves as a useful indicator of environmental performance and can enhance an organization’s reputation and stakeholder trust.

ISO 14001:2015 certified 49% of sites
Allegion recognizes the importance of being a good steward of the environment and proactively works to increase and improve our systems in order to have a positive, sustainable impact on both our operations and the community around us.
As of Dec. 31, 2025, 49% of our principal production, assembly and distribution sites are ISO 14001:2015 certified. This certification means those sites are in conformance with an international standard for environmental management issued by the International Organization for Standardization.
Products Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronze
Our company recently was one of the first door hardware manufacturers in the world to become Version 4.0 Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze, thanks to the line of AXA’s Home Security aluminum door fittings and pull handles that are on their way to being fully circular — an approach where materials are treated as nutrients that circulate within safe, healthy systems. AXA is one of Allegion’s European brands.
In this circular model, products and systems are crafted with the goal of achieving an infinite life cycle, where materials are reused or recycled without any loss in quality, seamlessly re-entering the production chain. This approach helps ensure sustainability by prioritizing resource efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.
The U.S. and Netherlands-based Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute developed a global standard that’s used by future-focused designers, brands, retailers and manufacturers to make safe, circular and equitable materials and products. Bronze is the first level of certification — a foundation for advancement to silver, gold and platinum levels — evaluating products in five categories: material health, materials reuse, renewable energy and carbon management, water management and social justice.

Brands achieve 3 EcoVadis ratings
Three of our Europe-based businesses have received EcoVadis Ratings since 2025, scoring in silver and bronze categories. EcoVadis is a globally trusted provider of business sustainability ratings whose mission is to help companies reduce risk, drive improvement and accelerate a positive impact on our planet and society. Bricard, which took the assessment for the first time, placed among the top 15% of companies with a 73/100, a Silver rating. Our plano business also took the assessment for the first time and received a Silver rating for their 75/100 score.
SimonsVoss, additionally a first-time assessment, scored 59/100 and earned a Bronze rating for initiatives like replacing plastic with paper in packaging, using alternative and safer substances in production and working with local suppliers to reduce shipping whenever possible. In 2025, SimonsVoss also joined the United Nations Global Compact, one of the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiatives.
SimonsVoss also maintains its ISO 14001 certification annually, meaning they’ve implemented an effective environmental management system that meets international standards.
AXA develops responsible packaging
AXA Home Security has been on a journey to develop more responsible packaging, eliminating plastic and using only 100% biodegradable cardboard and solvent-free, 100% recyclable ink and glue. They won a 2025 VM Packaging Award in the Sustainable Design category for the updated packaging.
“The AXA Home Security packaging demonstrates that structural simplicity and sustainability can go hand-in-hand. In a segment that is highly functional and security-focused, this entry delivered a technically clever approach that is simultaneously robust, durable and practical. A single die-cut design is used for three different product variants — a solution that demonstrates efficiency and insight,” VM wrote about AXA’s winning entry.

Solutions offer transparent labeling
Today, many of Allegion’s product families sold in the North American market have declarations that meet the requirements for various sustainable building initiatives, such as the U.S. Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program, the Living Building Challenge (LBC), WELL, Fitwel and Green Globes, contributing to the certification of hundreds of projects annually. Our hardware contributes to more than 200 LEED-certified projects annually in the U.S.
Both our Americas and International businesses strive for transparency in our products through the use of Environmental Product Declarations, Health Product Declarations, and Declare Labels.
