Trilux has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Platinum rating for the second time for its commitment to sustainability, social responsibility and corporate ethics.
The company scored 85 points to achieve the rating, its highest ever.
EcoVadis is one of the world’s most respected providers of sustainability ratings, evaluating companies across key areas, including environmental impact, labour and human rights, sustainable procurement, and ethical business practices.
Achieving Platinum status puts the German luminaire maker in the top 1 per cent of all assessed companies.
The company has a history of pioneering in sustainable product design.
In 2017 Trilux launched the innovative Repro-Light project to support the European lighting industry in moving towards a more sustainable and competitive future by investigating sustainability, the circular economy, the modularisation of luminaires and a smart production scheme.
The project led to Trilux learning from other industries and looked for more sustainable, biodegradable materials.
It was among the first lighting brands to explore the use of polylactic acid (PLA) for luminaire housing.
PLA is a synthetic polymer-based on lactic acid and obtained in an environmentally friendly way from corn starch.
The biocompatible thermoplastic is suitable for producing the luminaire body using a 3-D printing process.
With GRAFT Architects, Trilux took its continuous light line, Parelia LED, and constructed the main body from PLA.
Thanks to its high-efficiency lighting technology and optics, it generates glare-free quality light with 80 per cent indirect light.
In 2021, the Paralia won both a prestigious Gold and Green Build Back Better Award for the product.
More recently, in 2025 the company hosted an up cycling event for lighting designers in Dubai.
It was designed to raise awareness of the value in used products.
Organised in association with the Lighting Institute, the Reworks Workshop brought together specifiers from 20 practices in the region.
They used a variety of paints and other materials to personalise and improve the lights.
