Our ambition is to contribute to a better world through smart lighting solutions. We want everyone who comes into contact with our solutions to be able to fully do what they want in the best possible way, thanks to our lighting.
Lighting accounts for up to 15 per cent of global electricity consumption. By using the latest smart lighting solutions, users can reduce energy consumption up to 90 per cent. The lighting industry has significant opportunities to contribute, which is why energy efficiency is a priority for us. Actively driving the transition to a circular economy is also an important priority. Together with our customers, we streamline, reuse, expand or update existing lighting solutions.
Our continued main focus is to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to reach our 2030 and 2045 targets. To achieve this, we have defined and prioritised around 20 key activities that each Group company is diligently working on. Increasing the share of smart lighting is a priority to reduce use-phase emissions. Similarly, the companies are working to improve the efficiency of our luminaires. New material choices, and efficiency improvements in material use, transportation and energy are other ongoing initiatives to reduce emissions.
Since our base year, 2021, we have reduced our emissions by 34 per cent.
Our climate targets are based in science and are validated and approved by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
We are committed to deliver our contribution to the UN SDGs. We support all 17 SDGs, including the 169 targets, at the same time as we focus on the SDGs where we have the best ability to contribute through our business operations and our four focus areas. Our primary focus is therefore SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities and SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production.
Buildings and public places are to be made safer and more accessible with the right lighting solutions. Combined with presence sensor controls and enhanced energy efficiency, this will reduce the environmental impact of lighting considerably.
Circularity increases the durability of existing lighting solutions and reduces GHG emissions, while creating the prerequisites for the greatest possible benefits throughout the product’s life cycle.
