Sustainable actions
Since its foundation in 2001, the family-owned company Lightnet has been committed to humanity, community responsibility and environmental awareness. Because we as a company and as individuals are part of a large cycle in which the behaviour of each individual affects all others. Together we are working on the vision of making the world more sustainable and future-oriented. With our daily work, we want to positively influence the lives of our fellow human beings and the environment.
We are convinced that every company bears responsibility for actively working on solutions to global challenges such as climate change and scarcity of resources. The road to achieving this goal is long and demanding. Only by working together can we succeed in making this vision a reality. We invite you to join us on this journey and to shape a sustainable future together – together for tomorrow.
Our sustainable development goals
Our sustainability strategy is based on a thorough materiality assessment, in which we identified the following topics as a central focus of our business strategy. Four of the six areas contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as global goals. They were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to protect the planet and ensure that by 2030 all people live in peace and prosperity.
Energy efficiency of products
We support SDG 7 ‘Affordable and clean energy’ by developing affordable and energy-efficient LED lighting solutions that reduce energy demand. In addition, we contribute to achieving target 7.2. of significantly increasing the share of renewable energies in the global energy mix by 2030.
Wellbeing of employees
8.5 By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value.
Circular economy
12.2 By 2030, achieve the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.
12.5 By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.
Climate policy
We support SDG 13 by developing low-carbon LED lighting solutions and continuously working to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in our operations.
13.2 Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.
Reducing emissions
Our business model is based on environmental sustainability. All of our activities and all of our revenues are closely linked to measures that create sustainable environmental benefits. We are focusing on a number of areas to achieve our goal of net-zero emissions by 2040. This includes, in particular, reducing Scope 1* and Scope 2** emissions.
** Scope 2 includes the indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the generation of procured energy such as electricity or district heating.
*** Scope 3 includes other indirect greenhouse gas emissions that are primarily associated with the company's activities. Scope 3 CO2 emissions include, for example, the consumption of energy in rented assets (e.g. real estate, vehicles), the purchase of goods and services, waste disposal, water and wastewater, business trips and employee commuting.
