Our Mission
Reducing Reliance on Environmentally Damaging Illumination Technologies
Our mission is to continue launching innovative LED illumination systems that help reduce the need for environmentally damaging mercury and halogen-based technologies.
By engaging with our customers, we have identified a clear demand for brighter, lighter products that generate less waste and have a reduced carbon footprint. We are committed to developing new products that meet these needs, incorporating enhanced brightness, lightweight designs, minimal packaging using recycled and recyclable materials, and efficient delivery processes that help reduce CO2 emissions.
With the EU phase-out of mercury-containing and metal halide lamps approaching in 2027, the need to transition to safer alternatives has never been more urgent.
We are committed to supporting laboratories, OEMs and system builders by providing reliable, long-term LED replacements that remove hazardous substances from imaging systems while improving stability, lifetime and efficiency.
In parallel, we are actively identifying markets and applications where bulb usage remains high and working to replace these technologies with modern LED illumination. Every bulb replaced removes a source of hazardous mercury waste, reduces ongoing maintenance, and lowers environmental impact across the product lifecycle.
Beyond product development, we will continue to raise awareness of the upcoming phase-out and provide clear, ready-to-use upgrade pathways for customers who need to move away from mercury and metal halide before regulatory deadlines. Our aim is to make the transition to LED not only environmentally responsible, but simple, practical and pain-free.
ISO 14001 is the internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems. It helps organisations take a structured approach to reducing environmental impact, from energy use and waste to emissions and compliance. It matters because it supports continual improvement and demonstrates a clear commitment to responsible environmental management
Throughout 2025, we continued to assess our customers’ needs regarding ISO 14001 while preparing our Management System (MS). In 2026, we are aiming to achieve ISO 14001 certification.
Scope 3 emissions are the indirect carbon emissions associated with our wider business activities, from the goods and services we buy to transport, travel, waste, and the use of our products. They matter because they often account for the biggest share of a company’s overall carbon footprint, giving a fuller view of environmental impact and where improvements can be made.
In 2025, we worked closely with a company called ‘Inspired’ who help organisations work towards their sustainability goals by providing expert support with carbon reduction, net-zero planning, ESG strategy, reporting and compliance. Working closely alongside them, they assisted us with the implementation of climate change risk management frameworks; making ESG and climate-related disclosures; compiling all emissions data; and advising on net-zero strategies. In 2026, we plan to develop a roadmap for improving our environmental impact, and will work closely with our supply chain.
EcoVadis is a globally recognised sustainability assessment platform that evaluates how well a company manages its environmental, ethical, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement practices. It helps businesses measure sustainability performance in a structured way and identify areas for improvement. EcoVadis is important because it gives customers, partners and stakeholders an independent view of a company’s sustainability approach and progress.
In 2025, we completed an Ecovadis sustainability assessment and are pleased to announce that we were awarded a bronze medal. In 2026, we will work hard to improve our score.
