Schréder & Sustainability Sustainability has always been one of Schréder’s fundamental values.
What is BREEAM?
As a responsible lighting manufacturer, we promote environmental protection practices throughout the entire product lifecycle, from the selection of the raw materials, through the manufacturing of the luminaire, to its use and its end-of-life treatment. Our commitment is to develop products with the lowest environmental impact and to be transparent about it.
BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is one of the world’s leading sustainability assessment method for buildings, communities and infrastructure projects, owned by BRE (Building Research Establishment, UK). As a quality label, it encourages the market to focus on sustainability in building design as well as the environmental impact of products in buildings. BREEAM evaluates the overall building concept, taking into account 9 main categories with multiplied issues. Credits are awarded and weighted for each category in order to generate the final score for the building. The levels range from pass to outstanding.

As an independent and family-owned company, we are still guided by our founder Jules Schréder’s entrepreneurial spirit and principles. Expertise, passion, innovation and sustainability drive our company to use the power of light for the safety and well-being of all, from public spaces to higher-risk environments, such as warehouses, factories and transport yards where the consequences of a dark or dimly lit workplace can lead to injuries.
