The school is the country's largest workplace. Our children and youth also spend a significant part of their waking hours here. When only 39 percent of the country's eighth-graders report a sense of calm in the classroom, and teachers leave the profession due to stress, the work on the physical environment needs to be taken seriously. This is stated by Henrik Håkansson, CEO of the lighting company Aura Light.
In today's world, where environmental challenges are on the rise, companies should take accountability and play their part in sustainable development. That's why we've taken the next big step in our sustainability work and joined the Science-Based Targets initiative to set clear targets to reduce our operations' direct emissions by 2030. We are also actively working towards three of the UN's global sustainable development goals to promote a sustainable environment throughout our value chain. By incorporating innovation and knowledge, we can offer sustainable lighting solutions that significantly contribute to good health and well-being. We understand that energy conservation helps reduce our carbon footprint, and that's why we promote low energy consumption.
The recently launched Kleva, developed by Aura Light's product team in Vimmerby, is a modern and minimalistic IP44-rated lighting fixture with high performance. From concept to the final product, excellent lighting characteristics, sustainability, and energy efficiency have been the key factors reflected in the end result. The luminaire has a low carbon footprint. Kleva is versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications, from general spaces to industrial and warehouse environments. Its name is inspired by Kleva beach, part of the world heritage site in southern Öland, Sweden.
