Key Takeaways

Lightware Visual Engineering has secured a Bronze rating in the EcoVadis sustainability assessment, strengthening their obligation to environmental stewardship.

This achievement positions them within the top 35% of evaluated companies for sustainable practices, exceeding industry averages.

EcoVadis is a leading platform that helps businesses gauge and refine their sustainability performance. It facilitates comparisons and assessments among business partners and suppliers, evaluating factors like human rights, environmental impact reduction, and ethical business conduct.

EcoVadis considers environmental protection and sustainable procurement when analysing a company's overall performance.

Lightware's commitment to environmental responsibility is transparent in their first Sustainability Report, which outlines a comprehensive strategy for integrating sustainability across all operations. This includes investments in energy-efficient office solutions, waste reduction practices, and the development of eco-friendly products.

Examples of Lightware's environmental focus include:

  • In-house design and manufacturing processes optimised to minimise their carbon footprint.

  • Minimised product packaging and consolidated delivery practices to reduce fuel consumption.

  • Encouraging remote work and green transportation options (including electric carsharing) for employees.

As a further step towards environmental leadership, Lightware intends to install a rooftop solar park at their new headquarters. This initiative underlines their responsibility to environmental protection, promoting corporate environmental awareness, and adopting responsible business practices. They also prioritise ethical workplace practices and employee well-being.

In the future, Lightware intends to increase the scope of their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. This involves formally joining the UN Global Compact and forging closer ties with clients and suppliers to advance sustainable practices through their supply chain.

Lightware is also committed to developing a company-wide volunteer programme and providing staff with continuous sustainability training. ESG Working Groups will be in charge of these initiatives.

"We are delighted to have been awarded the EcoVadis Bronze sustainability rating, which represents an important milestone as we deliver on our ESG objectives,” said Gergely Vida - CEO of Lightware, “Lightware is also committed to continuous improvement, and we look forward to working with all our stakeholders to further enhance our practices and make a positive contribution to a more sustainable business ecosystem."
