all measures for the sustainability program

At Molto Luce, we translate the principles of Environment, Social and Governance into our sustainability program "People.Power.Planet". We address the three pillars of sustainability and actively engage for our team, our economic strength, and our planet.

Each of these pillars includes several goals and principles that we aim to achieve progressively through a variety of measures.

ESG (Environmental-Social-Governance) reporting may be a buzzword, but for us it is more than that. We see it as an opportunity to seriously address our responsibility to the environment, society, and stakeholders. For this reason, we have invested in two innovative software tools: one to calculate our LCA analyses internally, and another to efficiently collect and analyze our ESG data.

The LCA tool is the basis for our future environmental product declarations, while the ESG software serves as the foundation for the sustainability report. The tools show us where our levers are to reduce CO2 emissions and direct our focus on how we can anchor effective sustainable measures in our processes.

Our employees come from all corners of the world and speak an impressive variety of languages – often more than we "locals". And in fact, they often understand each other better, which incredibly enriches our day-to-day work. Whether it's communicating with a truck driver from a supplier at the goods receiving area or organizing the deliveries of our lights to distant countries – their skills make us strong.

We have followed the wishes of our employees and have introduced the company bicycle concept.

Because movement keeps us mentally and physically fit, and many of our employees now increasingly travel to work in an environmentally friendly way by bike.

Our goal is to maintain or improve the mental and physical health of our employees. Through training on health-related topics and a supportive work environment, we aim to create work conditions that enable our employees to build and sustain resilience and awareness in the long term.

Our holistic approach focuses on involving our employees from the very beginning, so that we can precisely implement our measures.

In a world that is increasingly focused on sustainability, we are constantly seeking energy-efficient solutions. Our research helps us develop products that are not only powerful but also environmentally friendly. With matrix technology, we can finally direct light only where it is truly needed, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Our research enables us to leverage the latest technological advancements and integrate them into our products, thus setting a trend in the lighting industry.

Our effective supplier management is supported by an on-site employee. This allows us to work closely with our suppliers and conduct regular checks and training to ensure that suppliers meet our requirements.

This way, we can ensure products of the highest quality while promoting fair and safe working conditions.

Our excellent X-Change technology offers the solution for an easily replaceable chip-on-board LED module to ensure maximum flexibility. Should defects occur when a change in light color is desired or when a significant improvement in energy efficiency can be achieved due to technological leaps: We replace your light source without having to replace the entire fixture. This extends the lifespan and reduces unnecessary costs and resources.

By switching to an energy-efficient and low-maintenance lighting system huge savings can be achieved. Even the upgrade of older LED's to modern LED lighting systems can pay off . Modern lighting systems require significantly fewer fixtures for the same light output compared to outdated systems and have a longer lifespan. By integrating intelligent sensor technology, you can also sustainably reduce your CO2e emission f.

In our Planet column, we have defined three main goals: conserve resources, save energy, and reduce climate impact. To consider these principles from the very beginning in our product development process, we have introduced an internal Scorecard.

Based on approximately 90 criteria, we evaluate to what extent our products already meet the defined goals or, if not yet, how we can achieve this in the future. To this end, we have developed the Molto Ecodesign Guideline.

The largest CO2 emissions of a lamp, 90%, occur during its usage period. This is also the phase in which we can enable our customers to achieve the largest cost savings. Switching to LED lighting alone can significantly reduce energy consumption, and by integrating sensor solutions such as daylight and presence controls, CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 90% through energy savings.

We have already launched a number of projects and are proud of our references.

Waste separation is standard and nowadays it is taken for granted. Nevertheless, there is a need for exact analyses to continuously check efficiency and identify any weaknesses. It is equally important to raise awareness about the significance of waste separation.

These efforts enable us not only to save costs but also to effectively return valuable resources to the recycling process.

Life cycle analyses consider the entire value chain of a product, from design and production through packaging and transport to the usage phase and the end of the product life cycle. We analyze our products with suitable LCA software and following the standards for assessing life cycle impacts, EN15804+A2 and PSR-0014, to obtain harmonized environmental product declarations (EPDs).

We develop this model internally, only then can we identify our levers and opportunities to reduce CO2 emissions and other impact indicators such as material consumption.

Given the trend towards decarbonization of the transport sector and the increasingn, necessaryn regulation of emissions, electric vehicles are a long-term solution that can help companies prepare for future requirements.

Because, electric vehicles produce no direct emissions during operation, especially when the electricity comes from renewable energy sources

Retrofit solutions offer the advantage of upgrading existing luminaires cost-effectively and easily with energy-efficient, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly light sources. The basis for this is our replaceable light source, which can be replaced by non-professionals and is available in lengths of 600, 900, 1200, and 1500 mm according to the T5 versions.

There are various light colours from 2700K to 4000K as well as options for CRI 80 and CRI 90. The product is available with Dark Raster, Basic Raster, PMMA Opal Cover and Microprism, and offers various beam angles. The housing colour is also available in different colours. Since the new light source is dimmable, it enables additional energy savings. In combination with a luminaire from Molto Luce, a Sensor Motion Swarm is also available.

Our products also contribute to creating pleasant environments in living areas, shopping centers, and office buildings, which leads to increased satisfaction and a positive feeling among people.

Lighting solutions such as Dim2Warm or Tunable White offer the possibility to mimic the daily rhythm of natural light, which is particularly beneficial for individuals who spend the entire day in artificially lit rooms.

Our products meet the highest safety and quality standards through strict tests, regular audits, and external certifications.

Resource-conserving processes promote sustainability, while our service center offers quick solutions for customer concerns.

Molto Luce meets legal, regulatory, and ethical requirements with care.

A Code of Conduct, regular training, and our risk management promote integrity, transparency, and safety in all processes.

We adhere to the highest standards of occupational safety, promote safe behavior through training, and work with external experts.

Safety representatives support us, and an open reporting culture allows for improvements.

Our career management includes increasing training hours, conducting high-potential programs, thorough training of our apprentices, as well as regular employee discussions.

A particular goal is to specifically encourage and promote women so that they can fully utilize their career opportunities and take on more leadership roles.

Through investments in photovoltaics, the switch from gas to district heating and electricity from hydropower, as well as the promotion of e-mobility, Molto Luce systematically reduces its CO₂ emissions.

Furthermore, the investment in additional photovoltaic systems is being evaluated.

Our People.Power.Planet program aims to implement effective measures that have a sustainable and positive impact on employees (People), the company (Power), and the environment (Planet).

Through targeted analyses and the dedicated efforts of our teams, we create a solid foundation to make our sustainability goals measurable and tangible.
