Manufacturing
The care for sustainability of Artemide – a Company certified
ISO 9001:2008, ISO 17025 and WMT – is ensured both by its
French plant Megalit, accredited with ISO 14001 and imple-
menting the Carbon Footprint, and by its focus on product
lifecycle (LCA), i.e. design, choice of raw materials, processing
to minimize transportation, and down to assembly, packa-
ging, and disposal.
The improvement of the light fixture efficiency during use
involves Energy-saving, reliability and lastingness of the imple-
mented technical solutions with a consequent reduction of
CO2 emissions.
All Artemide light fixtures comply with European Directives
and Standards and bear CE mark.
The responsible light
Artemide’s research activity is constantly committed to
developing and adopting lighting systems that pursue the
objective of maximum energy efficiency.
All project choices focus on a sole objective: to improve
people’s quality of life and their relationship with the envi-
ronment. In the sphere of a policy of the reduction of energy
consumption and being ahead of the regulatory require-
ments, there are four areas of action into which Artemide’s
commitment is specifically translated:
Eco-Effectiveness
Maximum attention is devoted to design and production
process: responsible use of resources, meticulous choice
of processes and technologies with a view to achieving an
energy balance.
Long term
Designing for the long term through careful planning of the
entire life cycle of the product, promoting internal technical
training using the experience accrued in the research into
sustainability (LCA, analysis of technologies, of processes,
etc.) developed with university research centres.
Responsible Consumption
To spread culture and offer instruments for a suitable choice
(TCO, LENI) and a rational use of light, judging it in terms of
energy saving and affordability.
Quality
Quality is a fundamental choice for a more lasting relationship
with the product and as a prerequisite in the search for
authentic environmental innovation.
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
LCA is a strategic approach used to assess the potential environment impact that
a product has during all the stages of its life cycle: selection of raw materials,
processing, transport and assembly, packaging, distribution, use phase,
disposal and recycling.
