FW Thorpe is committed to minimising the environmental impact of both its manufacturing processes and its products. However, even with the most responsible approach, some carbon dioxide (CO2) will be released into the atmosphere as an indirect result of FW Thorpe factories and selling activities and customers' use of luminaires.

Minimising the environmental impact

FW Thorpe has worked hard to develop and implement a truly effective environmental management system and is committed to achieving  ISO14001 certification where possible on production sites. ISO14001 confirms that a management system meets the highest of international environmental standards.

FW Thorpe is aiming to minimise energy consumption associated with its products, both directly during manufacturing and selling activities and indirectly via the users of its products (lighting accounts for 20% of the energy consumed globally). By continuing to design and manufacture luminaires that are as optically and energy efficient as possible, fewer luminaires are required on a lighting scheme and power consumption is reduced.
