Building on its heritage of more than 110 years, the Roger Pradier®
team carries out its commitment to illuminate the outdoor spaces of our
daily lives with passion.
At the start of 2024, we are proud to announce our ISO9001 certification,
illustrating our dedication to quality and process management. This
certification reflects our unwavering commitment and determination to
offer our customers high-quality lighting fixtures and services.
As a member of the Rivalen collective, which has been “société à
mission” (French legal framework in which businesses pursue a set of
social and environmental purpose with specific sustainability goals) since
2022, we set out our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) ambitions
through a GESTe action plan based on 4 main axes: Governance,
Environment, Social and Territory. Focused on the reduction of our
impact, this approach structures our actions, which must be respectful
of the environment and the stakeholders around us. These objectives
are as much new challenges to take on as they are a framework for
the creation of our luminaires. With this in mind, we are carrying out
research into the evolution of our materials, enabling us to offer the
possibility of limiting the use of varnishes to let raw materials age
and evolve. We have also partnered with our neighbour Pyrex for an
unprecedented collaboration that led to the creation of 2 models, Carex
& Ronex, illustrating our commitment to the circular economy.
Our attachment to the Centre Val de Loire region continues with the
completion of the expansion of our plant in Châteauroux and the
commissioning of our brand new zero-VOC emission powder coating
line. This is an important step in our development to approach the future
with serenity.
We are also taking a new step in our international development with the
“UL Manufacturer” certification of our factory, which strengthens our
position to expand into the North American market.
We are excited to present you our collections as well as our new
creations, and to share with you, our valued partners and customers, in
France and abroad, a year rich in achievements and innovations.
