A key certification for a Sustainable Growth

We're proud to announce that, after Flos Outdoor, also Flos plant in Bovezzo at the end of 2021 has achieved the EMS - Environmental Management System Standard Certification ISO 14001:2015, considered the most relevant with regards to the environmental policy.

ISO 14001:2015 standard certification is an internationally recognized tool, useful to plan, implement, measure and enhance the Environmental Management System we’ve internally set to improve and control our environmental policy.
This newly achieved result gives evidence of how Flos is committed towards the environment, not only meeting the compliances, but also enhancing the performances and reaching the objectives we’ve set in our annual Sustainability Report.

Reducing the environmental impact of a plant is a matter of systems and processes, as well as design and products. As for the systems and processes, Flos headquarters in Bovezzo are entirely supported by electricity from renewable sources, a crucial step towards becoming a carbon neutral company, and a reality since 2020 for our European plants. As regards design and products, we’re constantly increasing the cardboard quote in the product packaging and the use of recycled materials to produce parts of the new lamps.

One of the most impactful aspect of the outdoor lighting systems is the light pollution, that affects vegetal and animal life. Anticipating the international directive concerning this aspect, Flos has already achieved some relevant outcomes in outdoor lighting thanks to highly-efficient optic elements that fully illuminate the ground without dissipating light in the surroundings. The new Flos outdoor collection Pointbreak by Piero Lissoni represents the perfect example: it is equipped with purpose-made 360° optics that can illuminate the area all around without glare. Like a sort of 'technological candles', the Pointbreak luminaires work in a very controlled and delicate but efficient way, so as not to interfere with the natural environment and dissipate energy.
