Lighting Product Sustainability Metrics – Supporting the Industry at All Levels

Through our dual approach:

  • Members gain access to in-depth technical guidance on producing credible sustainability metrics, aligning with best practice and demonstrating commitment to measurable change.
  • The wider industry — including designers, specifiers, procurement teams and consultants — benefits from a clear and accessible guide on how to use and interpret this data effectively in project decision-making.

Together, these resources provide a joined-up framework: manufacturers producing reliable data, and specifiers applying it responsibly — building confidence, consistency, and leadership across the sector.

Both documents will be iterated based on feedback, and we invite members and the wider industry to share their views so we can continue refining this guidance for future updates.
