Sustainability

As a progressive Swiss company, Alteme focusses on sustainability and integrates these principles into all business areas. From production to development to business performance, sustainable practices are applied to fulfil both environmental and social responsibility. This means not only reducing the ecological footprint through environmentally friendly production methods, but also implementing fair working conditions. Alteme promotes sustainable innovations and integrates these into its business processes on an ongoing basis in order to have a positive impact on its own company and society as a whole.

Energy strategy 2050

All our products are equipped with the latest, energy-efficient LEDs. With our free-standing office luminaires, we make an additional contribution with the patented EDR function. In contrast to other automatic lighting control systems, our free-standing office luminaires can regulate the indirect light component separately. This makes the luminaires even more efficient in partial load operation without any loss of illuminance. In this way, we make a direct contribution to reducing energy consumption in Switzerland for our customers.

Sustainable & durable products

All our lighting tools are developed for a long service life, from the electronics to the choice of materials and their processing. As standard, our products come with a 5-year guarantee and a 10-year spare parts guarantee. We only use recyclable materials for our product packaging. Large orders are handled with special collective packaging to reduce material consumption.

Production & operation

Our production department in Aarau AG is powered by 100% natural electricity via the solar panels directly on the company building. All our business premises are equipped with automatic lighting controls for energy-efficient lighting.

Staff

We practise respectful and considerate behaviour across all hierarchical levels - regardless of age, origin, religion or gender. In addition to fair remuneration at all levels, we promote work-life balance by means of digital time recording and personal, favourable exchanges. Our above-average social benefits also promote employee satisfaction.

Supply chains

We endeavour to use the shortest possible supply chains wherever possible. This is why at least 80% of our supply chain is made up of local and European suppliers. Transport is organised as efficiently as possible through intelligent planning. Where appropriate, we use circular packaging to minimise material consumption.

Digitalisation & paperless office

With our modern ERP, we carry out all administrative work digitally and paperless. In production, digital documents are provided via tablet for training and documentation.

Print production

All our product brochures are printed on FSC-certified paper and offset by financing ClimatePartner-certified climate projects.
