Sustainability
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at BRIGHT. We aim to “walk the talk” and lead with sustainability in all our processes, products, and activities.
Why we focus on sustainability
Why we focus on sustainability
At BRIGHT, we understand our responsibility to people and the planet. Access to energy is the “golden thread” linking the Sustainable Development Goals, and we can contribute by providing access to a safe and reliable light source.
Climate change disproportionately affects the most vulnerable. As a company specializing in the humanitarian sector, we believe in reducing our carbon footprint and partnering with others to protect the environment.
How do we implement our sustainability objectives?
How do we implement our sustainability objectives?
Sustainability is built into our products. We do this by investing in research and development that ensures we follow the principles of Durability, Repairability, and Recyclability. Our first objective is to reduce over-consumption by creating products that last as long as possible and can be easily repairable. We use materials that can be recycled at the end of life.
We do this by ensuring that the voices of the end-users are included in the design and upgrade of the products and working closely with our manufacturer.
Product Lifecycle Management
Product Lifecycle Management
At each stage of the product lifecycle, we have controls and actions to monitor our environmental impact and continuously consider how to improve. Feedback from each stage is returned to our R&D department, which may lead to optimizing a current product or setting the criteria for future developments.
As we shape our future product portfolio and service offerings, we aim to develop comprehensive product service systems, integrating product design, manufacturing, distribution, use, maintenance, repair and end-of-life service to ensure longer-lasting products. We also aim to fully adopt a sustainable product development system approach, integrating lifecycle assessments into our decision-making process before moving forward with a product concept.
Our commitment to the 2030 sustainability agenda
Our commitment to the 2030 sustainability agenda
By ensuring access to sustainable light, we support the achievement of other SDGs. Our focus is SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy). Still, our work also centers on active climate action (SDG 13), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), reduced inequalities (SDG 10) and partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17).
We recognize that the 17 SDGs are interconnected, and we pursue our work following the Leaving No One Behind principle.
