Beacon Lighting Sustainability Actions

Shifted to LED-heavy products

Beacon says more than 95% of its lighting range is LED or LED-compatible. It says these products use about 75% less energy than halogen globes and last much longer, which can cut electricity use and reduce waste from replacements. The company also says its LED globes last up to six times longer than conventional lighting and do not contain toxic elements. This is presented as a way to lower energy bills and keep more bulbs out of landfill.

Added solar to stores

Beacon says it has installed solar power systems in 61 stores. It says these systems generate renewable energy, reduce reliance on grid electricity, and can send extra power back into the grid. The company also says it is trying to add solar systems to as many locations as possible. This is part of its effort to cut emissions from store operations.

Cut packaging waste

Beacon says it has removed polystyrene from its lighting and fan packaging. It also says it works with the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation, or APCO, which helps companies meet packaging targets in Australia. The company says it wants packaging to be reusable, recyclable, or compostable, and it runs a 'Bring it Back to Beacon' program so trade members can recycle cardboard and paper packaging through its stores.

Started EV fleet changes

Beacon says it is replacing petrol vehicles with electric vehicles over time. It says it already has eight electric vehicles in its fleet and has installed EV charging stations at some key sites, including its distribution centre and store support office. The company says this is part of lowering transport emissions and supporting cleaner travel across its business.

Supported Earth Hour

Beacon says it has supported Earth Hour since 2009 by turning off lights in all its stores. Earth Hour is a global campaign that asks people and businesses to switch off lights for one hour to show support for climate action. Beacon also says it has worked with Tree Project and WWF, a conservation group, on reforestation and wildlife protection.

Focused on safer workplaces

Beacon says it has a Safety Management System, well-being programs, and an Employee Assistance Program, or EAP, which gives workers confidential support for mental and physical health. It also says it tracks safety data, offers injury management training, and helps injured staff return to work safely. These steps are presented as part of its people strategy, along with training and career development.
