Why this topic is important to our panel
“As a manufacturer and supplier of the Lighting Industry it is important for us to present new possibilities for product developments together with our customers. The circular economy at the same time gives us the chance to do something for the environment and promote renewable resources as an alternative to established raw materials.”
Torsten Werner, Sales Manager, Elkamet
“Sustainability is a mega trend that will transform all industries over the coming 3-5 years. I feel the lighting industry is already having some fantastic conversations on the subject and I’m really looking forward to this webinar to see how further forward we can move this discussion. Innovation isn’t just about new products and services, it’s about innovation of thought, innovation of business strategy and innovation of business growth. Understanding the nuances of sustainability for our industry is key and I believe this webinar will help us all take the next steps towards this.”
Richard Garrett, Marketing Manager, Signify
“We’re being asked to imagine a New Normal. There’s no time like the Present to think again about the way that we do things. In fact – there is ONLY the Present, because in the Future it will be too late.”
John Bullock, The Light Review
“It’s vital that the industry has this conversation now if it’s to address its responsibility to the wider world. For too long the sector has been a rule-taker. These webinars can help us come up with a strategy that’s built from the bottom up.”
Ray Molony, Online editor – Lux Review
“This webinar will provide a thought provoking insight as to how to make your company, strategy, products, processes and outlook more sustainable and ready to embrace growth towards a circular economy”
Simon Fisher, Director, F Mark Ltd
