sustainability in supply chain

 

 

At LEDVANCE, we understand that it is our responsibility to manage environmental impacts along the supply chain. Having already implemented several measures, we are on a journey towards a more holistic management of our own operations and supply chain.

Assuming social and corporate responsibility means protecting the environment, ensuring occupational health and safety, and preserving natural resources. Thus, we set up a corporate Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) Policy and guidelines to integrate these issues into the overall management on a corporate-wide level, regularly conducting EHS walks in several locations. Environmental management at LEDVANCE includes the topics of energy, water, waste, pollutants and emissions. In addition, the environmentally conscious design and recycling of products play an important role.
Our procurement policies are in place to manage our supply chain and are described in full earlier (see Compliance at LEDVANCE). These policies ensure that important areas are carefully monitored and managed along the LEDVANCE supply chain. They include:
  • Control and restriction of the use of hazardous substances in our products.
  • Striving to minimize local and global pollution, to protect water, soil and air as well as manage conflict minerals responsibly.
  • Striving to minimize the environmental impacts of our products from cradle to grave.
  • Focusing on energy-efficient product development, repairability and recyclability to achieve zero-landfill in the future.
We use a blend of distribution between our own operations and our supply chain throughout the product life cycle. Raw materials and production, packaging, transport as well as end-of-life and recycling are performed by external partners, while distribution is performed through both our own operations and our supply chain in the form of our own distribution centers and centers by external providers
