Setting the benchmark for the standards of tomorrow
Our extensive industry expertise is reflected in our active participation in various national and international committees such as the International Commission on Illumination (CIE), the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) and the LUCI Association.
By contributing to the development of comprehensive standards for safety and lighting technology, we help set the benchmark for quality and reliability, ensuring that our solutions meet the most rigorous and forward-looking requirements.
Building open, futureproof ecosystems
The future of smart infrastructure depends on openness and collaboration. As active members of alliances such as the Open Mobile Alliance, TALQ Consortium and Zhaga Consortium, we advocate for interoperable technologies that enable our customers to evolve freely.
This collective approach drives innovation and allows our customers to build flexible, reliable and sustainable ecosystems that can grow with their needs.
Empowering innovation
As a company with innovation in our DNA, we champion and invest in new transformative and disruptive ideas by supporting start-ups that develop cutting-edge technologies aligned with our vision of creating smart and sustainable cities.
We sponsor initiatives such as the Smart Deal at Smart City Expo, which offers start-ups the chance to connect, gain visibility, secure funding and network with leading industry figures.
Advancing foundational knowledge
We collaborate with universities and academic institutions to pursue new ideas and ensure the continuous evolution of our knowledge, tools, and techniques, which is vital for preparing for the future.
For example, we sponsor the Student Industry Fellows Program at the University of Georgia to devise solutions for real-world smart city challenges and work with the Saint-Luc Liège Higher School of Arts to push aesthetic and sustainable product design. This academic integration helps us to gain understanding and nurture the next generation of industry experts.
Partnering with shared values
True collaboration also involves taking responsibility. We only work with suppliers who share our values and our commitment to building an inclusive and sustainable future.
All of our supply chain partners are required to adhere to the human rights principles set out in the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. This ensures that integrity and respect underpin everything we do.
