Sustainability at Veko: step by step towards net zero

Sustainability at Veko

At Veko Lightsystems, sustainability is not a standalone initiative, it’s embedded in everything we do, from operations to product development. As a specialist in industrial LED line lighting, we design and manufacture solutions that are not only energy-efficient, but also contribute to a circular economy.

Our biggest environmental impact lies with our customers, during the use phase of lighting. That’s why we combine high-efficiency LED technology with smart light management systems to prevent unnecessary energy consumption.

Net-zero by 2045

Veko is part of the Fagerhult Group. The group’s shared net-zero targets have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), making them scientifically validated and internationally recognized.

Our goals:
2030: 70% reduction in CO₂ emissions (scope 1 & 2), 30% reduction in scope 3

2045: Full net-zero emissions

With this roadmap, Veko is working systematically towards sustainable improvements in its products, processes, and value chain.

FAQ

Through continuous innovation, we make our products more sustainable by using fewer materials and lowering energy consumption.

Sustainable in both product and process

At Veko, sustainability goes beyond efficient lighting. We aim to make a positive impact at every step in the value chain.

In 2024, we were proud to receive the Wecycle Award, a recognition from Stichting OPEN for our contribution to recycling fluorescent lighting fixtures and advancing product circularity.

That same year, we also became a sustainability partner of E. van Wijk, our logistics provider. This partnership ensures that all transport now uses 50% HVO fuel, a sustainable alternative to fossil diesel. In 2025, we will take the next step toward 100% HVO, further reducing our transport-related CO₂ emissions and contributing to a cleaner supply chain.

Through these initiatives, we reinforce our commitment to a circular economy and to providing sustainable lighting solutions for every application.

Sustainable collaboration between Veko and BOAL

Since 1975, Veko Lightsystems has worked closely with BOAL Extrusion in the production of aluminium profiles for our light lines. Aluminium is a deliberate choice, due to its light weight and durable properties. In addition to being robust and energy-efficient, this material is also fully recyclable. These 100% recyclable profiles help maintain Veko’s commitment to a circular economy and support our mission to provide sustainable line lighting without compromising on quality and performance.

Duurzame projecten

Bij het verduurzamen van een pand wordt de verlichting vaak over het hoofd gezien, terwijl dit een grote factor is voor het besparen van energie. Het renoveren van TL naar LED kan een energiebesparing opleveren tot ruim 50%. Wanneer er een Light Management Systeem wordt geïntegereerd kan deze besparing zelfs oplopen tot 80%. LED verlichting heeft een terugverdientijd van 3 tot maximaal 5 jaar. Wanneer er al Veko verlichting hangt is de terugverdientijd in de meeste gevallen slechts 2 jaar. Voorbeelden van hoe wij jou kunnen helpen verduurzamen.
