1.2 CIRCULAR ECONOMY GUIDING LIGHT
How we apply the principles of the circular economy to the entire value chain
In doing so, we combine sustainable sourcing, circular product design and new service offerings to keep resources in eco- nomic circulation for as long as possible and support customers on their path towards a more sustainable lighting infrastructure.
PATHS THAT LEAD US IN CIRCLES AND STILL TAKE US FORWARD.
By developing circular business models in the form of Circular Services, we firmly em- bed the principles of the Circular Economy in our corporate mindset. We take Circular Economy requirements into account already at the beginning of product development. By applying the Circular Design Rules (CDR), we consistently align our product portfolio with circularity. The focus lies on the use of circular ma- terials, increasing recycled content and recyclability, as well as product designs that support repair, reuse and remanufacturing, thereby creating the foundation for Circular Services. For us, the Circular Economy is not merely a vision but a strategic development pathway. Through Circular Design Rules and Circular Services, we create the foundation for multiple use cycles of our products.
The material topics for reporting on our road to a Circular Economy are:
