Sustainability is everybody’s business.
When we can do more with less, everyone wins.
Businesses need to fi nd ways to grow without
adding to our environmental footprint — and the
good news is, we’re making steady progress.
Advanced technologies are helping us to be
more effi cient. We’re using less energy and
fewer resources, and generating less waste.
At a personal, corporate or national level, lighting
plays an important role in any sustainability strategy.
Whether you’re interested in lowering your energy
consumption, avoiding unnecessary maintenance,
identifying options for lamp and ballast recycling,
or fi nding products with
fewer hazardous materials,
OSRAM SYLVANIA can help.
Global Care:
Global Care represents our commitment to
corporate responsibility. This initiative is designed
to drive positive results to the triple bottom line
addressing social, economic and environmental
needs. Furthermore, we are dedicated to meeting
our customers’ lighting needs with a sustainable
approach to product design, development,
manufacturing and distribution.
We integrate environmental responsibility into
every area of our company. As a result, we are
using fewer natural resources, saving energy
for our customers, reducing
power plant emissions, and
recycling lamps and other
materials to avoid millions of
pounds of waste in landfi lls.
Meeting our needs today without compromising the resources future generations will need — touches everything we
do as a company. It’s all about reducing environmental impact, a commitment that goes beyond our products to include
how the products are manufactured, how they are used and how they are distributed and disposed. It even extends to
the design of “greener” buildings.
