Conserving resources and making a posi- tive contribution to customers
Actions related to consumers and end- users [S4-4]
Light can have a positive impact on the con- ditions within a building and thus contribute to the health and well-being of its end-users. By dynamically adapting to external factors and individual needs, light can be control- led in a targeted manner. This requires integrated systems comprising controllable luminaires, lighting management systems and the corresponding sensor technology. This positive contribution is also required by regulatory requirements, such as those set out in the EPBD. The development of corresponding solutions is a key focus of the Zumtobel Group’s ongoing research and in- novation activities in the fields of hardware, software and services.
The secured human resources in the Global R&D and Global Quality department and the patent licensing costs incurred will ensure that these actions are implemented; no fur- ther significant financial expenditure will be required. The following actions demonstrate the efforts being made within the Zumtobel Group.
Reliability & safety
The Zumtobel Group strives to maintain and further improve its high quality and testing standards. The CE audits conducted on Zumtobel Group products in the financial year under review and in the years prior en- sure that all EU-wide requirements are met. Continuous tests carried out as part of CE conformity ensure that products meet fun- damental electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, energy efficiency and pollution control requirements. This minimises risks and harmful environmental influences and protects and promotes the health and well- being of users in the long term. Comparative measurements and test method validations are expanded for Group-wide standards that exceed statutory and normative require- ments. To ensure the reliability and security of digi- tally networked luminaires and systems, the Zumtobel Group is taking steps to prepare for the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act. To this end, the Porto site was success- fully certified to ISO 27001 in the 2025/26 financial year. The certification of a further site is planned for the 2026/27 financial year.
