Welcome to Unique Lights. Since 2006, our team of LED specialists has been dedicated to continuously identifying, evaluating, and, once proven successful, incorporating the latest LED innovations into our services. Sustainability is one of our highest priorities. It plays a crucial role in everything we create and implement, and its importance is only growing. To stay on track, we have set goals and ambitions and are aware of our CO₂ footprint. Being consciously engaged with sustainability and communicating about it openly helps us integrate it more thoroughly and effectively into our work processes. We are happy to share our story with you!

Environmental impact and CO₂ emissions
To better understand our environmental impact and CO₂ emissions, we commissioned a sustainability report based on data from 2023, compared to 2024.
We used 2023 as a baseline for assessing our environmental impact. The main contributors were business travel and electricity consumption. Fuel and heating also played a relatively significant role. In 2024, we focused on our goals and already made significant progress in reducing our CO₂ footprint. For instance, business travel was nearly halved by encouraging remote work and holding meetings online where possible.
Most of our CO₂ emissions came from business travel, fuel and heating, and electricity. Where possible, we have already taken steps to reduce these emissions. In the coming years, we will continue to focus on these factors to minimize both our CO₂ output and environmental impact.
The CO₂ footprint of Unique Lights
This table shows our CO₂ emissions per category. It illustrates how much greenhouse gas is emitted and, where applicable, offset through CO₂ compensation. We created this table to increase awareness of our CO₂ footprint and to identify areas for improvement.
In total, we emitted 62.8 tons of CO₂ in 2023. The main sources were electricity and business travel.
When we look at the key figures, things become a bit clearer. Key figures translate annual data, like total energy consumption, into more understandable units, such as kWh per square meter of floor space or the waste separation rate. This complements the environmental chart and the CO₂ footprint. The table below shows this. The shaded column on the right shows the industry average. The differences and similarities with our data provide opportunities to achieve additional environmental or financial gains.
Measures to reduce the CO₂ footprint
Thanks to these figures, we are more aware of our CO₂ footprint and can take targeted action. The measures we implement will improve our data and help us move closer to our overarching goal: reducing our CO₂ footprint.
Much of our CO₂ emissions come from business travel and fuel. To reduce this, our goal is to decrease travel movements by:
- Promoting online meetings
- Offering the option to work from home
We are also exploring the possibility of installing solar panels in coordination with the building’s landlord. This will also reduce the CO₂ emissions related to electricity consumption.
In the future, we aim to improve our figures to operate as sustainably as possible and minimize our negative impact on the world. By taking these measures, we can continue doing what we do best: creating the very best lighting solutions.
