Retail pushes forward with climate protection
Climate protection measures have long since reached the retail sector. As an important sector of the economy, retail trade makes a significant contribution to meeting defined climate protection targets.
84 % of retail companies calculate their carbon footprint, take reduction measures or have even set themselves binding, verifiable targets that are intended to protect the climate and are compatible with the goals of the Paris Agreement.

The leitmotif: sustainability
The factor: retail lighting
»What levers do designers and lighting planners have at their disposal to reduce the consumption of retail lighting in a sustainable way? There are basically three well-known factors: the efficiency of the individual luminaires, use of control systems to regulate brightness and consumption according to the situation, and sustainable, sophisticated planning from the outset that is orientated towards human perception and does not simply drown areas in uniform light.« — Martin Krautter, md Interior Design Architecture
