PLANET
Lighting Design Studio work to ensure that they use energy efficient and long-lasting light fittings whilst ensuring that only the minimum amount needed are installed. They are certified carbon neutral through C-Level, and offset their emissions through carbon offsetting projects verified under the Plan Vivo Standard. As a next step, we would like to see Lighting Design Studio report their scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions on their website for full consumer transparency, as well as share their plans for reaching Net Zero.

They have also partnered with Recolight to offer a service for recycling waste lighting equipment for their customers.
