Integrated into our daily business

Why light matters

Energy-efficiency is high on the agenda to reach the climate goals and the lighting industry has a part to play. Lighting accounts for up to 15 per cent of global electricity consumption and by using the latest smart lighting solutions, we can potentially reduce energy consumption by up to 90 per cent.

With our footprint, we know that over  90 per cent of the lifetime greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of our luminaries comes from the use phase. That is why we put a lot of effort in contributing with new technology and knowledge to help our customers optimise the use of the luminaires. We also are a Group with essential knowledge when it comes to production. We are constantly developing our products to minimise resource consumption and waste as well as using recycled or renewable material.

“The right light, at the right time, in the right place creates safe, efficient, and sustainable living environments.”

Climate roadmap

Our ambition is to contribute to a better world through smart lighting solutions. We want everyone who comes into contact with our solutions to be able to fully do what they want in the best possible way, thanks to our lighting.

Lighting accounts for up to 15 per cent of global electricity consumption. By using the latest smart lighting solutions, users can reduce energy consumption up to 90 per cent. The lighting industry has significant opportunities to contribute, which is why energy efficiency is a priority for us. Actively driving the transition to a circular economy is also an important priority. Together with our customers, we streamline, reuse, expand or update existing lighting solutions.

Our continued main focus is to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to reach our 2030 and 2045 targets. To achieve this, we have defined and prioritised around 20 key activities that each Group company is diligently working on. Increasing the share of smart lighting is a priority to reduce use-phase emissions. Similarly, the companies are working to improve the efficiency of our luminaires. New material choices, and efficiency improvements in material use, transportation and energy are other ongoing initiatives to reduce emissions.

Since our base year 2021, we have reduced our emissions by 50 per cent.

About Science Based Targets initiative

The SBTi is a global initiative that allows companies to set ambitious targets for emissions reduction in line with the latest climate research. The focus is on increasing the rate of transition for companies to halve global emissions by 2030 and to become climateneutral by 2050. The initiative is a partnership between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the UN Global Compact (UNGC), the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wildlife Fund. It is also a part of the We Mean Business Coalition.

Towards a brighter future – our path to net-zero

Our path to net-zero is built on clear, science-based climate targets and concrete action. Achieving net-zero means cutting our greenhouse gas emissions as far as possible and then ensuring all remaining emissions are removed from the atmosphere. Fagerhult Group is committed to reaching netzero emissions by 2045, by reducing emissions in our operations, our supply chain, and supporting our customers with high-efficiency smart lighting solutions. Between 2021 and 2030, we aim to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 30 per cent and Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70 per cent.

Through the effort and focus we place on moving towards our climate targets, we are also able to lower our environmental impacts beyond greenhouse gas emissions. Embracing circularity goes hand-in-hand with solving several of the complex challenges on the road to net zero, as well as finding better ways to treat nature in our value chain and identifying new opportunities for our business. Across the Group in 2025, we have strengthened our framework for working with circularity, developed new products in line with circularity principles, and tested new circular business models – bringing circularity some steps closer, for us and our clients.

To achieve our science-based net-zero targets, we focus on four main areas:

• Phasing out natural gas use and increasing the share of renewable energy in our own operations.
• Doing more with less through conscious material choices and closer supplier collaboration.
• Maximising energy efficiency in the use phase of our products through integrating smart lighting and harnessing new technologies in our products and services.
• Gradually unlocking circularity through reuse, upgrading, and new business models.
