NACHHALTIGKEIT

Environment

In order to fulfill our responsibility, we are committed to environmental management practices that conserve resources and to developing innovative, energy-efficient products.

Environmental Management

We have set up a corporate EHS policy in order to integrate environmental issues into the overall management on a corporate-wide level. 

We created the necessary organization for these industry standards and a comprehensive system for environmental management.

ISO 14001

Climate

As an industrial company, we use energy and consume natural resources. In the process, we also emit greenhouse gases and produce waste. Climate protection and the development of a circular economy are therefore important issues for us, too. To this end, we are committed to an energy-efficient and resource-conserving way of doing business and are developing innovative, environmentally friendly products. 

We are pressing ahead with the development of a comprehensive sustainability strategy and setting ourselves specific targets: we are committed to the 1.5 degree-target of the Paris Climate Agreement and want to make its own operations carbon-neutral by 2030.

Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs)

In order to assess the environmental performance of our products, life cycle analyses of selected OSRAM product families were conducted, representing different technologies. The method for these analyses was an assessment following principally the international standards ISO 14040 and 14044. 

Social

Our employees and partners are key to our long-term success as a business. Their rights, health and  safety are of high priority for us. Nonetheless, we see ourselves also as being part of society,  which means that our responsibility extends beyond the confines of the Company.

Human Rights and Fair Working Conditions

As a globally active company, the question of compliance with human rights plays a central role in our cooperation with business partners and suppliers as well as in the working conditions of our employees. We fully support the UN Human Rights Charter and actively accept our responsibility by continuously integrating the universality of human rights into our policies, systems and processes.

Health & Safety

We are committed to offering our employees a safe and healthy working environment. Minimizing the risk of occupational illnesses and accidents at work forms part of this.

Governance

We would not be able to achieve our sustainable business success without the trust of our stakeholders such as customers, employees, investors, and suppliers. We strengthen this trust by means of transparent and responsible corporate governance.

Code of Conduct

At Inventronics integrity, respect, transparency and responsibility are at the heart of everything we do. Our Code of Conduct is a cornerstone of these values, guiding our employees, customers, partners, and stakeholders toward ethical and transparent decision-making. It outlines our commitment to upholding the highest standards in every aspect of our business. By adhering to this Code, we ensure that Inventronics remains a trustworthy and responsible leader in our industry.

Code of Conduct

Compliance

It is our goal to effectively promote doing business in a legal and ethically sustainable manner. Our Compliance Management System (CMS) builds the fundamental framework to achieve this goal.

The CMS focuses on preventing violations of applicable Anti-Corruption, Antitrust, Data Privacy, Anti-Money Laundering and Export Control regulations through internal policies and training, detecting violations that have occurred, and responding to them with the necessary measures to prevent them in the future (Prevent – Detect – Respond).

Supplier Management

As a global company with an extensive network of suppliers, we have a responsibility for the environment and society all along its supply chain. We take this responsibility seriously, and provide standardized risk analyses, tools, and processes that determine how we select our international partners and how we work with them. We also have internal and external control mechanisms in place. In particular, these enable us to fulfill our duty of care with regard to human rights in the context of conflict minerals.

Inventronics values transparency and therefore have engaged with Integrity Next. This platform allows us to consistently monitor our suppliers on sustainability and compliance. At the same time it provides a clear and organized picture of the assessment of our supply chain to our customers.

Responsible Sourcing of Raw Material

Inventronics is deeply adhered to responsible sourcing and transparency. We oppose the use of conflict minerals (gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten) as well as cobalt and mica that are illegally mined or contribute to armed conflict and human rights abuses. The following declarations demonstrate our commitment to responsible sourcing.

Packaging

Besides lighting components Inventronics is also dedicated to reducing the impact of packaging on people and environment. Through minimalizing packing size, searching for environmental friendly alternatives such as FSC Certified packaging, and smart packaging design.  And of course by complying with legal requirements. France has prohibited two categories of mineral oil MOSH/MOAH on packaging and in printing intended for the public since they disrupt recycling or restrict the use of recycled materials because of the risk of these substances to human health.
