EPDs
What is an EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is like a "health check for a product's impact on the environment. Zumtobel luminaires uncovered – from power consumption and material usage to recycling potential and environmental impact. EPDs provide transparent data for certifications and help you make smart and sustainable lighting decisions, building by building.
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.
Transparency across the entire life cycle
Zumtobel reflects on over ten years of experience with EPDs and considers product transparency to be a core component of our sustainability commitment. We provide EPDs for our luminaires for their entire lifecycle, covering materials, manufacturing, transport, use and disposal. By openly communicating about the environmental impact of our products, through detailed product passports, for example, we help our customers make informed and sustainable decisions, successfully supporting green construction projects worldwide.
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.
