Sustainability
Install Less,
Benefit More
Our Mission
We have committed to science-based targets validated by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). Our near-term goal of reducing Scope 1 and 2 CO₂ emissions by 42% from our 2022 baseline was achieved ahead of schedule. We are now expanding our efforts to include Scope 3 emissions, using in-house measurements and collaboration with our supply chain partners.
Carbon Reduction
50%+ reduction in vehicle fleet
Fewer company cars and more public transport, hybrid working, and cycle access lowered travel emissions.
27% of emissions removed by eliminating gas
Full transition to electric heating plus deep insulation cut a major source of operational carbon.
60%+ reduction in paper use
Digital design, quoting, and mark up workflows removed the old reliance on printed drawings.
CARBON INTENSITY: 3.1 tCO2e PER £1M TURNOVER
75% single use plastic eliminated
Reusable cartons replaced plastic packaging and created a circular system between Simmtronic and suppliers.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Simmtronic, we take our responsibility to the environment seriously. We are committed to operating as an environmentally conscious organisation that identifies, manages, and minimises our environmental impacts while reducing carbon emissions throughout our operations. As a leading supplier of lighting control systems, we deliver innovative, energy-efficient solutions that help our clients meet their sustainability goals while keeping buildings performing at their best.
Our focus is on reducing energy use, extending product life, and minimising waste. Through ongoing research and development, we push lighting control technology forward, supporting a low-carbon future. Sustainability plays a key role in how we work, helping us deliver smarter solutions and long-term value for our clients.
“Sustainability is not a side project for us, it is part of how we build, plan, and operate. When we committed to our Science Based Target, we set out to make real changes, not symbolic ones. Exceeding our near term reduction goal ahead of schedule came from practical decisions – removing gas heating entirely, reshaping our supply chain, improving how our buildings perform, and cutting waste at every stage of our work.
What matters most is that this progress happened while the business grew. It proves that lower emissions and strong performance can sit side by side when every team pulls in the same direction.
Our next stage is to take the same level of focus into Scope 3, working with partners, suppliers, and clients to understand the full footprint of what we make and how it is used. This is long term work, but it is the right work. We will keep improving, keep measuring, and keep choosing solutions that reduce impact without compromising quality. Sustainability is built through consistent action, and that is how we will continue to move forward.”

Road map & Future Goals
What We Have Implemented
We run our sites with a focus on energy efficiency and accountability, manufacturing responsibly and prioritising local sourcing where we can.
- 1. Decarbonized by removing gas – transitioned from gas to electric heating, with improved insulation for greater efficiency.
- 2. Energy monitoring – digital twin technology tracks and optimises building performance.
- 3. SPQ.7 environment monitor – measures CO₂, sound, light, humidity, and more to enhance comfort and reduce energy waste.
- 4. Timed air conditioning – programmed schedules prevent unnecessary usage
- 5. Photocell daylight control – natural light use reduces reliance on artificial lighting
- 6. Paper reduction – digital-first systems cut waste, from design reviews to documentation
- 1. Local supply chains – we prioritise local supply chains, sourcing components within the UK where possible to reduce transport emissions.
- 2. Low-carbon logistics – multi-drop delivery methods reduce trips and fuel use.
- 3. Plastic-free packaging – eliminated single-use plastics, replaced with recyclable and reusable solutions.
- 4. Transport impact – smaller company car fleet and encouragement for staff to cycle-to-work to reduce emissions.
Products Built to Last
Our product range is designed for efficiency, longevity, and measurable carbon savings.
- Design life excellence – Minimum 10 years, often exceeding 15–20 years in real use
- Energy-efficient systems – Automated lighting control, daylight harvesting, and zone-level precision reduce energy demand.
- Innovation focus – Products like the Universal Sensor with Integrated Emergency Light cut materials and simplify installation.
- Sustainable portfolio – Every release advances efficiency, durability, and reduced waste.
