Sustainability

As a North American industry leader designing and delivering lighting solutions, sustainability is key to our business model.  

At Axis, we place great importance on how lighting influences quality of life and are devoted to innovating products that transform environments for individuals. Our passion for enhancing people's lives is intertwined with our commitment to preserving the environment. We believe that progress is a journey of small steps, and we constantly strive to advance and perfect our offerings, methods, and practices

While we remain engaged in the pursuit of our sustainability goals by continuously improving our processes and our products, we also aim to help our customers as best we can in meeting their sustainability goals. That is why we are proud to support industry transparency initiatives through Declare labels, in compliance with Living Building Challenge requirements set by the International Living Future Institute. As a result, a growing number of Axis luminaires meet the Declare standard.

Our goals help our customers meet their goals

At Axis, we maintain a strong focus on innovation without losing sight of what matters to our customers. Our main goal is to help architects, lighting designers and building owners breathe life into their lighting projects while meeting certain sustainability requirements. As a result, we take steps, including responsible sourcing, to help improve a product's environmental footprint throughout its life cycle, from design to disposal. We achieve this in a number of ways:

Transparency, 

The Cornerstone Of Our 
Sustainability Commitment

Creating a Cradle-To-Cradle Life Cycle

At our production facility, we prioritize comprehensive recycling procedures for materials such as aluminum, lenses, wiring, cardboard, and plastics, alongside non-production-related waste. We use recycled materials in our products, including steel, aluminum, and PET plastic.

Our finishes are VOC-free, ensuring safer environments, and we adhere to RoHS standards for LED components. Our luminaires are Red-List-free, meeting the Living Building Challenge standards, and we use recyclable, PVC-free, halogen-free wiring (Enviro-Wire™),  which is Cradle-to-Cradle Silver Certified.

There's More to Sustainability Than Meets The Eye

As a forward-thinking organization that demonstrates flexibility and support for our customers' environmental and sustainability concerns, we are always attentive to their needs and those of the community.

Axis products contribute to LEED® and WELLTM certifications through features like recycled materials, advanced controls, and circadian lighting. They prioritize energy efficiency, responsible sourcing, and material conservation, while actively participating in sustainability committees and supporting local communities.

Photometric Scale Tool

Information

For Linears – Target Total Luminaire Lumens, calculate by multiplying the original length by your desired lumen value. For example, if you want 800 lumens, multiply 800 × 4 (original length). Target Total Luminaire Lumens input would be 3200.

For optimal accuracy, always use a maximum length of 4ft. Anything beyond this includes only one light source. Note: Direct/Indirect scales proportionally and cannot be adjusted separately.
