  Posted by: Amy Beckingham-Wells      6th October 2026

EcoVadis Gold, energy-efficient lighting solutions and investment in renewable energy support LEDVANCE’s sustainability strategy.

LEDVANCE, one of the world’s leading providers of lighting solutions, has published its Sustainability Report for the 2025 financial year, setting out the company’s latest progress and initiatives across environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.

Under its guiding principle, ‘Power Through Light’, the report outlines the steps LEDVANCE is taking to reduce its environmental impact, improve the sustainability of its operations and develop more energy-efficient lighting solutions.

For the first time, LEDVANCE has also voluntarily aligned its sustainability reporting with the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), providing a consistent framework for measuring and communicating progress and supporting greater transparency across the business.

Improving the energy efficiency and circularity of its product and solutions portfolio remains central to the company’s approach. During the 2025 financial year, 97.1 per cent of the overall portfolio was classified as eligible under the EU Taxonomy Regulation, reflecting LEDVANCE’s long-standing focus on energy-efficient LED and smart lighting technologies.

In October 2025, LEDVANCE also achieved an EcoVadis Gold rating for the first time. EcoVadis assesses companies across a range of sustainability criteria, including environmental performance, labour and human rights, ethics and sustainable procurement. The Gold rating places LEDVANCE among the top five per cent of companies assessed by EcoVadis globally.

Investment in renewable energy

Alongside its product portfolio, LEDVANCE continues to invest in reducing the environmental impact of its own operations, including increasing the use of renewable energy across its international sites.

One example is a new 400 kW solar installation at the company’s Molsheim site in France. The photovoltaic system generates renewable electricity for local operations, helping to reduce the site’s carbon footprint and its reliance on externally generated electricity.

LEDVANCE is also continuing to identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency across its production and logistics facilities worldwide.

Sandra Streib, Sustainability Manager at LEDVANCE, said, “Our 2025 Sustainability Report shows how we are turning our climate targets into concrete, measurable processes. By aligning early with the EU’s CSRD requirements and investing in our own renewable energy generation, such as at our site in Molsheim, we are delivering tangible change and actively and transparently driving forward the sustainable transformation of our industry.”

Looking ahead

LEDVANCE has set climate targets for 2030 and 2050 and is continuing to develop its approach to reducing emissions across its operations and wider value chain.

This includes expanding its global ESG data management to improve the measurement and tracking of environmental performance, alongside greater engagement with suppliers to address emissions associated with Scope 3.

The company is also looking at how sustainability considerations can be integrated more closely into operational decision-making, supporting continued reductions in emissions from its own activities while contributing to the wider transition towards lower-carbon business practices.
