🌳 Our Tree Planting Initiative

A true passion project: Together with our employees, their families, and the Bavarian State Forest, we plant 1,000 trees in our region every year – for clean air, healthy soil, and a future with roots.

“With every light we sell, we take responsibility — for nature, people, and the generations after us.”

Daniel Skapetze with his son Luca

Our roots. Our responsibility.

Only a few kilometres separate our company headquarters in Bavaria from the site of our first tree planting initiative – but it is a clear sign of our regional commitment. With a love for our home region and the firm determination to take responsibility where it all begins.

🌱 Sustainability at skapetze® – Light with Responsibility

At skapetze®, we believe: Good light and good action belong together.

That is why we do not see sustainability as a trend, but as a responsibility – for our environment, our region, and future generations.

We do what we can – step by step. From plastic-free shipping to regional projects and the selection of durable products. As a family-owned company from Bavaria, clarity, down-to-earth values, and future viability are especially important to us.

🌱The Meaning of Sustainability

For us, sustainability means responsibility: for the environment, resources, and the people behind our products. At skapetze®, we integrate sustainable thinking into every area – from packaging to energy use and our corporate culture. Our goal: to create solutions that are durable, well thought-out, and fair – for our customers, our region, and our future.

Energy & Resources in the Company

At our company location, we pay attention to the responsible use of energy and resources. Our photovoltaic system with battery storage supplies large parts of the company with self-generated solar power. In the showroom and logistics hall, we rely entirely on energy-efficient LED technology. We also act consciously online: skapetze.com is hosted in a climate-friendly way. In addition, an EV charging station is available directly at the site for our employees.

🚚 Climate-neutral shipping with DHL GoGreen

We also rely on sustainable solutions when shipping. Every order is shipped climate-neutrally with DHL GoGreen – meaning: the resulting CO₂ emissions are fully offset through global climate protection projects. Our packaging is made of recycled cardboard and is plastic-free. Instead of plastic cushioning, we use paper solutions that can be easily recycled. By using optimised packaging sizes, we additionally reduce transport volume – and thus emissions on the way to you.

s.luce – our answer to conscious lighting

With our own brand s.luce, we combine timeless design with responsible action: durable materials, well thought-out technology, and conscious production – for sustainable lighting solutions with style.

    Efficiency & interchangeability

    Many models allow for easy replacement of components.
    This makes maintenance easier and promotes sustainable use.

Social responsibility & employee focus

A sustainable company is built on the people behind it. That is why at skapetze® we create a working environment based on fairness, trust, and development. Flexible, family-friendly working hours ensure a good work-life balance. With our JobRad program, we promote sustainable mobility, and ergonomic workstations as well as a respectful, equal relationship are part of our everyday routine. Management is personally committed to social issues – within the company and in the region.

Assortment & product selection

When selecting our assortment, we focus not only on design and function, but also on durability and responsibility. Our products are high-quality manufactured, repairable, and timelessly designed – so they do not need to be replaced tomorrow. Returned items are not discarded, but offered as second-choice products or donated in order to conserve resources. We also focus on responsible selection when it comes to our brand partners – with an emphasis on sustainable materials, fair production, and transparent processes.

Transparent communication & future goals

We want to openly show where we are headed. With our own sustainability page, we create transparency and make our measures visible. Our goal: 100% plastic-free packaging by 2026, the expansion of sustainable product lines, and the strengthening of regional partnerships. Planned as well are a comprehensive CO₂ accounting and the continuous reduction of our emissions – because sustainability is a process that we actively shape.

Together for responsible light

skapetze® remains a company that shapes – not only spaces, but also the future.
We are happy about every step we take together – for more sustainability in everyday life and in lighting design.
