SDGs, EPD and Green Deal
Transparency as commitment
Zumtobel's sustainability goals, the Environmental Product Declaration, and adopting the Green Deal positions us as one of the leading companies in the field of sustainable development. Transparency is our top priority, and we go beyond merely offering sustainable lighting solutions.
Subsidies
Zumtobel experts assist clients in the financing of sustainable lighting solutions. We possess extensive expertise in region-specific programs and local sales organisations. Plus, we provide figures for lighting design and sustainability certifications.
Application knowledge
Zumtobel understands the application-specific potential of the Green Deal incentives for different countries and effectively shares our knowledge of sustainability for each application to the target audience. As a comprehensive lighting provider, we offer the most sustainable package of luminaires, lighting management systems, and services available on the market.
Services
Light as a service for the Green Deal provides figures on decarbonisation and amortisation times by integrating financing and funding programs. Connectivity and services contribute to obtaining funding that extends far beyond the provision of sustainable lighting.
Our objectives for sustainable development
Climate protection
Energy efficiency is an integral component of our LEDs, ensuring timeless sustainable construction. Zumtobel products are also manufactured using a high proportion of renewable energy.
Peace, justice, and robust institutions
For Zumtobel, humans are always at the centre. We actively support research projects and awards for disadvantaged regions, such as the recognition given to Professor Klumpner from ETH Zurich.
Industry, innovation and infrastructure
The Zumtobel brand has been an innovation leader in the lighting industry for decades. We are seeking partnerships to embark on joint paths for innovative sustainability, as demonstrated by our circular energy project with Carla Vorarlberg.
Gender equality
For our brand with strong roots in Austria, gender equality is an integral part of our Code of Conduct. The Zumtobel Group Code of Conduct is always aligned with the Austrian Code.
EPD
Zumtobel reflects on a decade of experience with EPDs and leverages a well-established sustainability module to enhance the credibility of our brand. We have EPDs for products throughout the entire life cycle, including materials, manufacturing, transportation, use, and disposal. We have also demonstrably succeeded in acquiring projects by detailing the environmental impacts.
Sustainability is rewarding.
Forming AG Project
To have a positive effect on the environmental impact of renovating the two installation halls, the Swiss company engaged an external energy consultant to significantly reduce CO₂ consumption in production. The energy modernisation not only allows Forming AG to achieve its sustainability goals, but also helps it to qualify for various grants and incentives.
