Sustainability
A world where aesthetic lighting, cutting-edge technology and a respect towards the preservation of resources is combined.
This is our mission.

In today’s world we are constantly being reminded of the great climate changes we are to face.

Today BLOND is one of the few companies, in the lighting business, which still manufactures and market only their own products.
In an age where most companies have chosen to put their manufacturing either abroad or to produce their products several miles away from their office, we have kept true to our manufacturing heritage.
BLOND manufactures the products in Värnamo, Sweden and uses environmental friendly methods in all the stages of the production.

By carrying out the manufacturing process under our own roof we don´t contribute to pollution in form of transportation, and at the same time we can keep a high quality of our products.

Making sure we always work with the latest lighting technology, we ensure our customers that our products are always supplied with the most energy efficient solution.
Our products are applicable with intelligent controls, for example motion- and daylight sensors, in order to provide a lighting environment which influences our earth to a minimum extent.

Our work with sustainability as a continual process is a natural part of our everyday work. Demonstrating our commitment to Corporate Responsibility is crucial if we are to continue being well positioned and to take advantage of opportunities in the demanding and growing lighting market.

BLOND is connected to “El-Kretsen”, thus fulfilling the obligations regarding the producer responsibility act for electrical waste.
We are also part of the “Reparegistret” and therefore comply with the WEEE and Packaging Directives.
BLOND products comply with Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS Directives.
