Science based targets, EcoVadis, or B Corp?

The options open to lighting industry manufacturers to get their sustainability credentials independently certified can be bewildering. And making the wrong choice can have big impacts on customer perceptions and costs.

Science based targets, Ecovadis and B Corp certification all provide credible corporate sustainability assessments.  But what are the similarities and differences? And to what extent do they require businesses to actively decarbonise and move towards net zero?  Do they all include non-climate related requirements such as labour practices, ethics and supply chain? And what are the costs and benefits?

The Net Zero Lighting 2025 conference sets out to explain and demystify the options. Taking place on 29 April in London, the one-day event features presentations and panels from companies that have already made their choice. Delegates will hear of the opportunities, challenges, and the pitfalls from those with first-hand experience.

Presentations will also reveal the extent to which certifications support the decarbonisation of lighting businesses, as they move towards net zero.

Now in its second year, the conference is organised by Recolight and chaired, as always, by Ray Molony.  The conference uses case studies, authoritative presenters including Science Based Targets initiative and BSI, and panel discussions to give delegates the practical advice and guidance they need to decarbonise their operations.

Nigel Harvey, Recolight CEO said “We are delighted to be hosting Net Zero Lighting 2025.  The direction of travel in the industry is clear and unstoppable:  customer demands and government requirements for decarbonised lighting manufacture will only increase.   We are thrilled that our experienced and knowledgeable speakers, drawn from within and beyond the lighting industry, are willing to share their expertise.”

He added: “The climate crisis is the defining issue of our generation, and every business on the planet has a role to play.  We are confident that this event will empower delegates with the knowledge they need to help their businesses make a meaningful contribution.”
