Environmental policy and goals

At the present time some 10 per cent of the Swedish electricity consumption is used for lighting, however, this could be halved. We can contribute towards reducing consumption through developing luminaires for energy efficient light sources such as the T5 fluorescent lamp and compact fluorescent lamps as well as through innovations such as Fagerhult's patent pending reflector technology r5.

Miljöpolicy och miljömål A new lighting plant from Fagerhult can halve energy usage compared to an older one. In an office building, lighting can account for between 30-45 percent of energy consumption. Environmental certification in accordance with the ISO standard 14001 and an environmental report in accordance with EMAS are a natural part of the company's long term environmental strategy. We wish to take responsibility for our own activities and, at the same time, satisfy the demands of the world around us through environmental work. The result, we hope, is a healthier environment and improved products.

Our environment policy

agerhults Belysning AB develops and manufactures lighting systems. Energy consumption during usage represents a large part of the luminaire's total environmental impact and therefore Fagerhult's main contribution to the environment is to develop energy efficient products. Our ambition is to limit the luminaire's environmental impact during its entire life cycle - from development, manufacture and use to recycling.

In our environment work we attempt

To meet or exceed demands in applicable legislation.
To economize with resources, energy as well as raw materials, and increase recycling in the whole process.
To observe environmental consequences before new raw materials, products and production equipment are introduced.
To make demands on our suppliers and contractors to take the environment into consideration.
To continuously develop environmental work through new objectives and regular follow-up.
To have an open dialogue with employees, customers, the general public and the authorities about the company's environmental and energy work.

Our environmental goals

A very important part of our environmental work is to continually improve our efforts and thereby reduce the impact on the environment. Therefore we have formulated goals for our activities, which apply to products as well as processes.

Reduce the product's environmental impact with use and recycling.
Reduce our manufacturing units' energy consumption.
Reduce our manufacturing unit's environmental load on the local environment.
Reduce consumption of raw materials and minimise the amount of low grade waste.
