Holistically sustainable:

product design and business management in harmony

 
On the way to a climate-neutral company

As a manufacturing company, we take our environmental responsibility very seriously. Oriented towards long-term goals, our actions are consistently aligned with the principle of sustainability. Through responsible use of limited natural resources and the development of sustainable products, we make an active contribution to environmental protection for a future worth living for present and future generations.

 

Our location-based measures

With permanent measures to reduce our CO2 emissions, we have been on the way to becoming a climate-neutral company for years. The most important milestones in recent years were:

  • The energetic renovation of our main building
  • The conversion of our entire factory lighting to LED with corresponding lighting control concepts
  • The investment in a new powder coating plant designed according to the most modern environmentally friendly aspects.
  • The installation of a photovoltaic system for our own power supply on the shed roofs of our production hall.
  • The start of the conversion of our company vehicles to electric cars
  • The establishment of a charging infrastructure at the Worms site 

The consistent focus on the development and production site in Worms also minimises transport distances. Regular energy audits and process optimisation also ensure the efficient use of resources.

As a responsible family business with a history of over 130 years, we are making our contribution to climate protection, reducing environmental pollution, lowering CO2 emissions and conserving valuable resources.

 

Environmentally friendly printing

We are increasingly focusing on the digital delivery of information and reducing the use of printed materials to conserve resources. Where printed products are required, the CO₂ emissions from each printing process are tracked and offset by supporting selected climate change projects. In addition, all printed materials are produced on environmentally friendly recycled paper to help conserve natural resources. 
To this end, we work with a number of printers and climate partners to help achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

In this way, we are setting an example for greater sustainability and environmental responsibility.

 
Sustainable product design

Saving energy, reducing carbon emissions and avoiding unnecessary waste - this has been our practice for many years and has always been part of our sustainable product strategy.

SCHUCH luminaires are renowned for their high quality. Robust and reliable, they offer extremely long life and high efficiency. The modular design allows individual components to be replaced when necessary. A real added value when only the electronic components have reached the end of their life.

With our GreenLine label, we draw attention to the particularly sustainable products in our range. We offer BlackEdition luminaires that comply with the Dark Sky regulations, and we implement particularly efficient and environmentally friendly lighting solutions with variably adaptable concepts such as VARIO or EcoTune.

VARIO light fittings offer a very special advantage. By changing the luminous flux at any time, the luminaires can be easily adapted to changing requirements. Result: multiple use instead of disposal.

 

No disposable products

SCHUCH light fittings are not single-use products.

If necessary, all components can be replaced by specialist personnel in order to avoid unnecessary waste and to conserve valuable resources.

The only exception is the gas-tight PRIMO XR series, which must be hermetically sealed due to the application.

Disposal & Recycling

All of our products comply with the requirements of the REACH and RoHS guidelines. Furthermore we are connected to the recycling systems Interseroh and Grüner Punkt - Duales System Deutschland (DSD) for the professional disposal of packaging as well as the return and recycling of old devices.

In addition to this, we are working hard to steadily increase the proportion of recycled or environmentally friendly bio-based materials in our lights. In some areas, such as die-cast aluminium housings, we have already achieved a 100% recycled content.

We are making a further contribution to protecting finite resources, the climate and the environment.
 

Maximum energy efficiency and maximum service life

SCHUCH luminaires are designed for maximum energy efficiency and maximum service life. Higher energy savings, longer useful lives and less waste are the beneficial consequences.

By using light management systems to control the light according to the situation and VARIO luminaires for individually adjusting the luminous flux, further energy saving potential are exploited.

This protects the environment and your wallet and makes a significant contribution to reducing our customers' carbon footprint. This is a very positive contribution to CSRD reporting, which many companies are now obliged to do.

Future-proof

Thanks to the extensive use of Zhaga-compliant LED modules, SCHUCH light fittings are future-proof.

A manufacturer-neutral replacement is just as possible as a replacement by Zhaga-compliant subsequent LED module generations without having to replace and dispose the entire luminaire.
