Trilux achieves top EcoVadis rating
Trilux has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum rating for its commitment to sustainability, social responsibility and corporate ethics.
EcoVadis is one of the world’s most respected providers of sustainability ratings, evaluating companies across key areas, including environmental impact, labour and human rights, sustainable procurement, and ethical business practices.
Achieving Platinum status puts the German luminaire maker in the top 1 per cent of all assessed companies.
‘Sustainability is a central component of our corporate strategy,’ Klaus Röwekamp, Senior Vice President of Sustainability, Products and Solutions, told the Circular Lighting Report.
‘This award is confirmation of our ongoing efforts to develop innovative lighting solutions that are not only energy-efficient and resource-conscious but also create real added value to society and the environment.’
The company has a history of pioneering in sustainable product design.
In 2017 Trilux launched the innovative Repro-Light project to support the European lighting industry in moving towards a more sustainable and competitive future by investigating sustainability, the circular economy, the modularisation of luminaires and a smart production scheme.
The project led to Trilux learning from other industries and looked for more sustainable, biodegradable materials.
It was among the first lighting brands to explore the use of polylactic acid (PLA) for luminaire housing.
PLA is a synthetic polymer-based on lactic acid and obtained in an environmentally friendly way from corn starch.
The biocompatible thermoplastic is suitable for producing the luminaire body using a 3-D printing process.
With GRAFT Architects, Trilux took its continuous light line, Parelia LED, and constructed the main body from PLA.
Thanks to its high-efficiency lighting technology and optics, it generates glare-free quality light with 80 per cent indirect light.
In 2021, the Paralia won both a prestigious Gold and Green Build Back Better Award for the product.
