Sustainability at Louis Poulsen

Our approach

At Louis Poulsen, sustainability is integrated into every part of our work. It shapes how products are designed, sourced, manufactured, used, and cared for across their lifetime. It also guides how we support the people and communities connected to our company.

We focus on three core areas: Design for the Planet, Design for People, and Design for Culture. Each area reflects our commitment to creating long-lasting lighting with respect for materials, craftsmanship and the world around us.

Our Eco-Design Framework

Our Eco-design Framework helps ensure that every new product is developed with clear sustainability considerations. It guides designers and engineers in selecting materials, evaluating impact, and improving longevity and maintenance.
The framework is being rolled out across all product categories and will continue to evolve as we improve our data and design processes.

Carbon Offsetting

Louis Poulsen uses certified carbon credits to balance residual emissions while reducing emissions across the value chain. We support projects that protect biodiversity and natural habitats, and all credits used are certified according to recognised international standards.

This approach ensures that our climate actions contribute to meaningful environmental benefits while we continue our reduction efforts.

Extended Producer Responsibility

In accordance with the EU and UK WEEE regulations, Louis Poulsen ensures access to free end-of-life recycling for lighting products placed on markets by financially supporting national networks of local authority-operated WEEE recycling centres.

In the UK, producers or distributors are required to declare their WEEE registration number: WEE/BH0073UQ
