1. Our Footprint As a manufacturing company, we have an impact on the planet’s resources across our entire value chain. We use energy and raw materials to develop and assemble our products, and we also use logistic services in our supply chain. Furthermore, our products consume electricity over their lifetime. Despite the technological advances of LED technology, this still accounts for 98% of our total carbon footprint according to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. At Schréder, we are committed to playing a key role in protecting the environment by reducing the impact of our manufacturing activities, products and services. We do this by reducing our own consumption of materials and energy, and by helping our customers reduce their footprint through the use of the latest technologies in our luminaires.
At Schréder, we are committed to protecting our environment and have set our goals accordingly. Climate protection is an area of high importance and we are determined to do our utmost to reduce our own and our customers’ carbon footprint. Our commitment is reflected in actions and in the carbon footprint reduction targets that we have set in line with today’s climate science and which have been approved by the SBTi.
To reinforce our commitment to reducing our environmental impact, and to align with climate science and the objectives of the Paris Agreement on climate change, from the end of 2023 we have been following a carbon emissions reduction strategy approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) 2 .
