🌳 Our tree planting campaign

A true heartfelt project: Together with our employees, their families, and the Bavarian State Forest, we plant 1000 trees in our region every year – for clean air, healthy soils, and a future that is rooted.

"With every light we sell, we take responsibility – for nature, humanity, and generations to come."

Daniel Skapetze with his son Luca

Our roots. Our responsibility.

Between our headquarters in Bavaria and the location of our first tree planting initiative lies only a few kilometers – but a clear sign of our regional connection. With love for our homeland and a firm will to take responsibility where it all begins.

🌱 Sustainability at skapetze® – light with responsibility

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

That’s why we don’t see sustainability as a trend, but as a responsibility – for our environment, our region, and for future generations.

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

🌱 The importance of sustainability

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

Energy & resources in the company

At our company location, we pay attention to a responsible use of energy and resources. Our photovoltaic system with battery storage supplies large parts of the company with self-generated solar power. In 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. Additionally, an E-charging station is available for our employees directly at the location.

🚚 Climate-neutral shipping with DHL GoGreen

Even in shipping, we rely on sustainable solutions. Every order is shipped climate-neutral with DHL GoGreen – this means: The resulting CO₂ emissions are completely offset by global climate protection projects. Our packaging consists of recycled cardboard and is plastic-free. Instead of plastic padding, we use paper solutions that are easy to recycle. By optimizing 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, thoughtful technology, and conscious production – for sustainable lighting solutions with style.

Social Responsibility & Employee Orientation

A sustainable company lives from the people behind it. That's why we create a work environment at skapetze® that is 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 workplaces as well as a valuing interaction at eye level are part of our daily routine. The management is personally committed to social issues – in the company and in the region.

Product Range & Selection

When selecting our product range, we focus not only on design and function but also on durability and responsibility. Our products are high-quality crafted, repairable, and timelessly designed – so they don't need to be replaced tomorrow. Returns are not discarded but offered as second-choice products or donated to conserve resources. We also rely on responsible selection with our brand partners – focusing on sustainable materials, fair production, and transparent processes.

Transparent Communication & Future Goals

We want to show openly where we are going. 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. Comprehensive CO₂ accounting and the continuous reduction of our emissions are also planned – because sustainability is a process that we actively shape.

Together for Light with Responsibility

skapetze® remains a company that shapes – not just spaces, but also the future.
We are pleased with every step we take together – for more sustainability in everyday life and in light design.
