Responsible growth is of central importance to us. We firmly believe that economic success and social commitment should go hand in hand. In our CSR handbook, you will find the strategies and actions we are taking to make a positive contribution to a better society. We are proud to promote and implement sustainable practices in all our business areas. Let's take responsibility together and create a positive future.

Circular economy

To achieve sustainable growth, we must focus on the circular economy approach. This focuses on changing processes and systems to improve the efficiency and management of our resources. By applying the basic principles of a circular economy, we can contribute to a sustainable future.

Resource efficiency: using secondary raw materials instead of primary raw materials.

Energy efficiency: switching our own portfolio to 100% energy-saving LED lighting for living, working and outdoor areas.

Recyclability: Our products themselves also exhibit a high degree of recyclability.

Repairability: Already today, around 96% of our lighting products can be repaired by a specialist.

Modularity: With a focus on electronic components, which can most easily be replaced or exchanged within the lifetime of a luminaire.

UTILISATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGIES

The use of renewable energies is the basis for ecologically responsible business. We always endeavour to use renewable energy wherever possible. We already obtain electricity from 100% renewable energy sources at all German and other major locations. A changeover has already been reviewed or implemented at all other locations.

Social responsibility

All our actions are in line with the ten principles of the UN Global Compact. These relate to corporate responsibility in the areas of human rights, labor, the environment and anti-corruption. Our Group Sustainability Strategy 2020 and our Group People Strategy until 2023 ensure the continuous integration of these principles into our strategy, culture and day-to-day business.

Since 2017, we have also been a member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and are committed to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which address the world’s global challenges. In this Decade of Action, we have set our goals in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
