Carbon Neutrality
To us, this is just the beginning…
Russell Osur, Design Director/CEO
Coronet’s goal has always been to do what’s right when it comes to sustainability.
We’re committed to taking even more action on our social responsibilities. In 2019, we formally made significant steps to integrate our efforts.
We'll be installing rooftop solar panels at our New Jersey headquarters, which will provide 100% of Coronet's power.
We'll continue to use the best available technology to produce the most energy-efficient fixtures possible.
Carbon footprint
In 2019, we completed the process of becoming a certified CarbonNeutral® company in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol. In 2025 our emissions are offset to net zero through the following project which is validated and verified by independent, third party standards: Guanare Afforestation, Uruguay
Circular Design
Our commitment to circular design begins with material selection, favoring components that are recyclable, responsibly sourced, and low in embodied carbon. By prioritizing efficacy, long product lifespans, modularity, and ease of disassembly, our luminaires are engineered for minimal waste and environmental impact.
Transparency
100% of the ingredients of our flagship products
have been disclosed to the International Living Future
Institute and are LBC Declared.
Optional Red List Free construction
The Living Building Challange (LBC) Red List represents the “worst in class” materials, chemicals and elements known to pose serious risks to human health and the greater ecosystem that are prevalent in the building products industry. Nearly all of our declare listed products are available with optional Red List Free construction.
End Of Life
In support of Circularity, our products are modular, Red List Free–optional, and compatible with established recycling and recovery channels. When removed from service, we recommend that our products be disassembled and recycled according to local material recovery guidelines to ensure responsible end-of-life handling. Whenever possible, aluminum housings, electronic components, and plastic lenses should be sorted and directed to certified recycling facilities. This approach helps reduce landfill waste, lowers embodied carbon, and supports the material reuse goals of LEED and the Living Building Challenge.
Recycle
- Our aluminum extrusions are comprised of 80% recycled and 100% recyclable material.
- We will continue to use 100% recycled materials in all boxing.
Conservation
Conserving and sustainably managing biodiversity is critical to addressing climate change.
Through our annual contributions to carbon offsetting projects and Rainforest trust we have helped protect over 350,000 acres of rainforest.
