DESIGN FOR THE PEOPLE - 2020

design for the people p129 FSC & re s pons i b i l i t y We design and manufacture lighting with great knowledge of, and consideration for, how light affects us humans and our wellbeing. It is an essential part of our product development. With manufacturing and product development also comes responsibility – a responsibility to protect the resources we have available, and the people we work with. At the immediate level, this mainly concerns investing in continuous improvement, including our product development. By focusing on low prices, we commit ourselves to looking at new, simple solutions and processes that use less material, as well as long-life technology. Basically, this means that we take into account many more elements than just that a design should be nice to look at. We assess whether a design can be made more appropriate and less costly through small adjustments. For example, it makes sense for the installation of our lamps to be as simple as possible, ensuring that no additional resources are required for installation. That is why we have more than 60 dedicated engineers, each with more than 10 years of experience in lighting technology, in our development department, all constantly working with this focus. We are at the forefront when it comes to the development of energy-saving LED technology. You no longer need to compromise between the desire for a warm, pleasant light, innovative design, and the desire to keep power consumption down. Development in this area moves quickly, and new solutions and processes are constantly emerging, making it possible to combine aesthetics with greener technology. FSC We focus on protecting our resources and the environment. This is one of the reasons why we have been FSC certified since 2016. FSC certification is about using trade forest products such as wood and paper from responsible sources, and ensuring clear traceability for the wood – all the way from forest to the finished product in the shop. Responsible sources refers to local populations, animals and plant life being taken into consideration, that logging is done in an environmentally appropriate way and that the deforested areas are replanted. The desire and motivation for FSC certification of the products which include wood is a natural continuation and development of our approach to environment and sustainability – and we will continue to demand FSC certified wood for those of our design products that include wood. We see sustainability as a task involving everyone associated with Nordlux – from the owners, board and management to employees and suppliers. *FSC® stands for Forest Stewardship Council® and is a recognised international non-profit labelling scheme for wood and paper. FSC certification ensures responsible forest management and improved living conditions for the local population in forests worldwide. FSC-C124559
