To light up the world, without depleting its resources.
The GreenLight Alliance was founded by a small group of like-minded individuals from across the industry, including co-founder Dave, to help push towards adopting a truly circular economy. It exists primarily with the mission to seek and promote all efforts to
arrive at industry standards that are universally recognised, trusted and
sought-after. With the intention to allow the lighting industry to make meaningful,
informed and fair decisions in the pursuit of ever more sustainable practices.
