GENERAL STATEMENTS
The value chain
Once these semi-finished products have been transported, luminaires and their components are produced at Zumtobel Group sites. Various quality controls ensure that products meet the required standards and specifications. Upon completion of all own operations, the products are trans- ported to the customer or end consumer for use. In the downstream value chain, the Zumtobel Group’s products are sold through various sales channels, such as project sales, sales through retail channels, online sales channels, or, for example, through OEM sales for the Components segment, and subsequently used. Consumers and end-users can make use of services such as maintenance during the use phase. At the present time, luminaires are professionally disposed of as electrical waste after their use phase. Various methods such as reuse, refurbishment and remanufacturing are em- ployed to extend the service life of products and components in the interests of a circular economy. These topics are discussed in greater detail under E5-1.
The most important economic actors along the Zumtobel Group’s value chain are strate- gic suppliers (for more information, see S2), own workforce (for more information, see S1) and consumers and end-users (for more information, see S4).
