To meet the needs of a growing population, we need to consume resources more efficiently. By 2030 for example, the global tally of light points will have increased by 35 per cent to 60 billion.

Sustainable design is a fundamental part of our DNA. As part of the design process, we innovate to reduce the impact on the environment and bring wider benefits to the world we operate in.
In other words, we look to optimize the economic, environmental and social benefits as much as possible. To embed this we have created 8 sustainable focal areas:
Products and systems which consume 10% less energy compared to the EU Energy Efficiency Class A benchmark
Read about our Dubai lamp as one example of sustainable design
Eliminate harmful substances in products to reduce environmental and health risks
Products and business models designed for a circular economy (disassembly, repurposing, longer lifetime) to reduce waste to landfill
Provide light which increases wellbeing/performance to help people see, feel, and function better
Reduce product weight, select sustainable materials |
