Sustainability at SLV
At SLV, sustainability is recognised as a balanced interplay between the three areas of economy, environment and society. Only by considering each process of our core business can we ensure the long-term success of the company without negatively impacting our society or the environment. Our international business activity requires us to uphold these claims for a wide variety of stakeholder groups, not only in Germany but also worldwide. Through responsible company management, ongoing improvement of our energy-efficient product portfolio and ensuring the occupational health and safety of our employees and business partners, we help to minimise the negative effects of our activity and develop in a positive way.
Sustainability is determined by important links in the value chain
The focus of all our efforts involves promoting a sustainable value chain. This goes beyond simply optimising the supply chain, even though this represents a central link in the value chain. Our main focus is on people, communication, innovation and information security.
WE AIM TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE RESULTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN – INSTEAD OF FOCUSING SOLELY ON PROFIT AT THE EXPENSE OF SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS.
SUSTAINABILITY AT SLV MEANS RESPONSIBLE GROWTH
All our efforts are built on the foundation of our four values: Passion, Responsibility, Respect & Reliability. Because we are convinced that this is the only way we can grow responsibly. We think and act like entrepreneurs, but always strive to offer our customers quality lighting and first-class service. Our growth is always sustainable because we are aware of our responsibility towards people, society and above all the environment.
Business model throughout the value chain
Holistic value creation
As a product developer and supplier, nnuks Holding GmbH is involved in business processes around the world that generate emissions and waste, and in some cases consume limited natural resources such as water. As we are aware of the impact of our business activities, we take our responsibility for environmental and climate protection actively and seriously and strive to minimise it as much as possible. Following this strategy, we want to increase our positive impact along the entire value chain. Our greatest sustainability goal is thus to maintain a value chain that is as sustainable as possible and also gives us a competitive edge. For a sustainable value chain, a holistic approach is crucial. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations serve as our guideline.
Sustainable projects along the value chain
Sustainability at SLV also means doing business sustainably. Our sustainability objective involves maintaining a sustainable value chain through a balanced interplay of economic, social and ecological aspects across all of our core business processes.
However, our product responsibility goes even further. Guaranteeing the safety of our products for customer use is a top priority for us. By carefully selecting our suppliers and through multi-stage test processes, we ensure that our customers receive top-quality products that are safe to use. We also provide various supplementary information with regards to photometric, technical, regulatory and safety-related product characteristics in our download area. Our additional five-year guarantee for large parts of the current SLV product portfolio reflects our promise of quality and sustainability when it comes to our products.
