Arize Family by Verjure

In honor of Earth Month, we spotlighted how sustainable lighting plays a key role in creating functional and innovative spaces! We’re proud to partner with manufacturers leading the way with forward-thinking approaches that prioritize the planet. From rethinking raw materials to minimizing packaging and maximizing energy efficiency, sustainable design has many benefits. Some include reduced energy consumption, lower operating costs, enhanced visual comfort, and a smaller environmental footprint. More companies are achieving third-party certifications, like Declare Labels with Red List Free status, to demonstrate and validate their commitment to sustainability. This level of transparency publicly discloses a product’s complete ingredient list and confirms the absence of harmful chemicals, empowering specifiers and end users to make informed, environmentally conscious choices. Whether used in residential projects, commercial offices, or public settings, sustainability is critical to today’s design conversation. Let’s dive into four companies driving meaningful change in the lighting industry!
