1.2 Sustainable Solutions Sustainability is at the heart of Schréder’s values and operations. We have built our reputation by continuously reducing our environmental footprint and helping our customers to do the same. Our products are designed with circularity in mind, prioritising resource efficiency and waste reduction. By integrating energy-efficient lighting technologies, we extend product lifespan while enabling smart lighting solutions that optimise energy use. This not only lowers operational costs but also significantly reduces environmental impact, contributing to a more sustainable future. Optimised Energy Consumption The energy consumed over the lifetime of a luminaire is its greatest environmental impact. Upgrading outdated installations with more energy-efficient technologies is one of the most effective ways to reduce this impact. At Schréder, we are committed to continuously developing solutions that minimise energy consumption by integrating innovations such as LED technology, optimised optics, advanced control systems and solar-powered solutions. Over the years, our luminaires have become significantly more efficient, with LEDs consuming up to 70% less energy than conventional light sources. Today, 100% of our luminaire sales are LED-based. The total greenhouse gas emissions associated with our products depend on a number of factors, including energy consumption over their lifetime and the emission intensity of electricity in different regions. The most significant impact we can make is in optimising the energy efficiency of our luminaires. That’s why our engineers and technology suppliers are continuously pushing
the boundaries of efficiency, developing adaptive and connected lighting solutions that improve performance while maximising energy savings.
By reducing energy consumption and extending the lifespan of luminaires, Schréder EXEDRA plays a key role in supporting sustainability efforts, helping cities lower their environmental impact while enhancing urban living. In 2024, we reached a significant milestone by connecting the one millionth device to the Schréder EXEDRA platform. By leveraging the data-driven insights provided by the platform, our customers will be able to create even more sustainable and resilient communities.
Schréder EXEDRA Smarter and More Sustainable Cities Schréder Hyperion, the Schréder Group’s Smart City Centre of Excellence, is dedicated to accelerating the transition to a more connected and sustainable urban infrastructure. As part of this mission, we developed Schréder EXEDRA , a cutting-edge lighting control and management platform designed to help cities optimise their energy use while seamlessly evolving into broader Smart City applications. Security and reliability are at the core of Schréder EXEDRA. The platform ensures data protection through encryption, hashing, tokenisation, and key management practices, all in compliance with the latest ISO 27001:2022 certification - a testament to our commitment to maintaining the highest standards in cybersecurity. 1,000,000 devices connected to Schréder EXEDRA With advanced features for programming optimised dimming profiles based on multiple variables - such as calendar days, special events, and seasonal changes - Schréder EXEDRA enhances energy efficiency while maintaining safety, comfort and well-being in public spaces. In addition, the platform’s interoperability allows it to manage controllers and sensors from different manufacturers, offering cities a flexible and futureproof solution.
I love being able to advice/ recommend lighting and smart control technology solutions that help and preserve the natural eco-system all while ensuring safety and well-being for people.
