What does sustainability mean to you personally, and how do you incorporate this belief into your everyday life?

What sustainable habits have you integrated?

 

For me, sustainability means using resources responsibly to protect the environment for future generations. For example, I practice conscious consumption: I prefer buying local and seasonal products and make mindful decisions when ordering online to minimize returns. For greater energy efficiency, I ensure lights and electrical appliances are switched off when not in use.

How do you promote awareness and commitment to sustainability among your colleagues?

Our aim is to make information and resources on sustainable practices accessible. One example is the impressive results from the SUMATRA project (sustainable materials in future luminaire designs - from recycling back to application), where significant findings were made in sustainability. We have also saved many tons of packaging waste through innovative packaging concepts. Another key aspect is encouraging colleagues to contribute their own sustainable ideas, so they actively participate in the development of our sustainability strategy.

What motivates you most in your role at TRILUX, especially in the area of sustainability?

 

The increasing attention and dynamic nature of sustainability make my role extremely exciting. The complexity of the topic provides me with insights into different areas of the company, allowing me to learn a lot.

What sustainable projects or initiatives are you currently involved in?

Currently, I am developing training content on sustainability and collecting CO2 data for 2023. I also regularly collaborate with the PEG (personnel development group) to drive forward the circular economy at TRILUX. This topic interests me personally because it promises great ecological benefits, reduces waste, and can significantly change the way we work in the future.

Wherever there is light, there is life and it brings people together:

What is your favorite thing to do with your colleagues?

 

 

On a day-to-day basis, I really enjoy having lunch with my colleagues in Cologne. Equally important for me is personal contact with the sustainability team at the various TRILUX locations.
