Maintain a Sustainable Performance
OSRAM, as one of the first lamp manufacturers, has set up a dedicated corporate function: ‘Sustainability’ which then creates an edge over their benchmark lightning company. Their environment approach focuses on environmentally conscious, innovation and creative solutions in all areas of company and responds to challenges such as climate change, scarcity of natural resources and environment pollution. Throughout their effort in developing sustainability, they implied the concept into corporate function, product life cycle and projects.

Sustainability Life Cycle
Product life cycle which consists of all processes is especially important as product life cycle is the first step for energy-saving effort. Therefore, research and development department is vital for them to develop a sustainable product while ensuring profitable growth for OSRAM and its customers.

Sustainable Projects (Off-Grid Lighting, Clean Development Mechanism)
OSRAM initiated projects which concentrate on sustainable development. They are the first lightning manufacturer in the world to offer sustainable lightning solution in regions without power supply networks. Realizing the phenomenon that there are about 1.6billion people depend on ‘fuel-based lighting’ which subsequently burning kerosene for lightning and expose the people to health hazard, OSRAM launched the Off-Grid Lighting project in Kenya in 2008. The objective is to produce light independently from a grid-based power supply at lower cost, without compromising the environment. The energy hubs therefore enable people to recharge their battery or electrical appliances as well as purified their drinking water via treatment based on OSAM UV lamps.

Clean Development Mechanism was created under Kyoto Protocol to enable industrialized countries company to implement emission reduction projects in
