Sustainability at STEINEL

STEINEL's vision

STEINEL is pursuing the path to becoming a company with a net positive impact on people and planet, and is committed to reducing its environmental impact, promoting human well-being and circularity, and making more sustainable choices.

5^years

Up to 5 years' manufacturer's warranty
STEINEL products are durable and can be used for many years.

10^t

Plastic-free packaging
Thanks to our intensive work on environmentally friendly packaging options, we are already saving over 10 tonnes of plastic per year.

95^%

Up to 95% energy savings through sensors
With our intelligent solutions, we unlock energy-saving potential that sometimes amazes even us.

With our invention of the world's first sensor-switched light in 1987, we practically redefined the concept of light. The fact that it only switches on when it is actually needed was a new idea at the time and a real revolution. And a statement against wasting energy and resources.
